Over 15 years, I have touched and helped 500-600 at-risk youth through one-on-one mentorship. I’m most proud of that because coming up I didn’t have that–there was nobody to say, “Hey, I see some potential in you!” or “Hey, you’re going down a wrong path–let me help you!”
Pilot Awardee Sarah Sobotka is studying a parent-to-parent coaching program where experienced parents of ventilator-dependent children provide guidance to parents of children awaiting hospital discharge in partnership with the UIC Division of Specialized Care for Children
Congratulations to C3EN Pilot Awardees Kirsten Dickins, Chuka Emezue, Li-Ting Longcoy, Elizabeth Tung, and Anna Volerman on receiving grants and honors from NIH!
We felt there should be an organization to help new as well as experienced fathers better cope with the feelings of uncertainty and pressure that sometimes comes with the anticipation of a new child.
