Empower Hour: Inspiring Body Confidence Through Bracelets and Words

March 10 @ 2:00 PM4:00 PM EDT

Join us for a creative and confidence-building evening out for parents and
tweens. We’ll hear from Dr. Lisa Klein, pediatrician at Child Health
Associates and founder of (https://www.turningteen.com/). Dr.
Klein will address the challenges many tweens face when it comes to feeling
confident about their bodies because of competing messages in society and in
the media, and she’ll help us open the door for discussions about body image.
We’ll also be stringing up some inspiring bracelets with Robyn Heicklen of
Bracha’s Beads, assisted by her son Daniel (check her out on Instagram
(https://www.instagram.com/brachas.beads?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D#)).
You’ll leave with wearable reminders of how awesome you are, and with some new
tools and techniques for talking through topics about body image and body
confidence.

In addition, we will learn about Dignity Grows, a cause TOV is committed to
supporting this year. Dignity Grows works to combat “period poverty” by
providing girls and women with the hygiene products needed to participate in
work, school and everyday life during menstruation. You’ll have the
opportunity to learn more about this organization and ways to help further
their mission with TOV.

Please register in advance by March 5.
Space is limited.
**This event is intended for parents and their tweens (ages 10 – 13).**

$36 per person, $20 of which is a donation towards two full totes for Dignity
Grows.
