Encouraging tolerance and acceptance with SEL programs for students is what we’re all about at DHIFI. Every child’s uniqueness is something to be celebrated, and this is something we believe in strongly at DHIFI. Giving children and adolescents the confidence they need to embrace their individuality and hold their heads high is our mission at DHIFI. Helping young people grow into individuals who are confident and compassionate is the focus of the work we do. We work on developing initiatives for an array of institutions, such as schools, centers for higher learning, local businesses and communities.

Social Emotional Learning Programs

Advancing social emotional learning activities for educators lies at the heart of DHIFI’s mission. This includes instructing those who are younger on goal-setting, emotional intelligence, empathy, relationship-building, and prudent decision-making. We magnify SEL’s impact at DHIFI by encouraging learners to be proud of the things that make them unique, supported by educational offerings that concentrate on increasing SEL’s reach, inspiring students to feel pride when it comes to their uniqueness, which is reinforced by initiatives that include:

  • Story sharing: By sharing the experiences they’ve had with others, students achieve confidence and address the barriers that often produce bullying.
  • Accentuating individuality: We educate students that their different traits are advantages rather than inadequacies.

Championing the acceptance of one’s self and the acceptance of others, encouraging respect for diverse backgrounds, and guaranteeing a feeling of belonging for everybody, regardless of their uniqueness, are key parts of our goal.

Testimonials

During our 2019 annual President’s Council of Cornell Women (PCCW) Symposium, Meg gave an impressionable presentation titled “What You Think of Me is None of My Business: Embracing Your Superpower” which embodied our theme of PCCW Celebrates One Cornell: Diversity and Inclusion.” Not only was Meg’s presentation insightful, thoughtful and impactful, but she captivated the audience. Sharing stories about those who go through life with visible and invisible differences made us aware that we all face difficulties and challenges in many ways, but together, through education and awareness, we can be compassionate, loving and caring to everyone, no matter the trials and tribulations ahead.

When the U.S. Embassy in Israel hosted Meg Zucker as a Distinguished American Speaker in 2015, the audiences she spoke and met with were deeply inspired by her personal story, her effective advocacy, and the early success of Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It.  Her appearance made a huge impact with advocates for inclusion and acceptance which still resonates today with those who met her.

Daniel Shapiro

former U.S. Ambassador to Israel

Meg is an energetic and engaging speaker who inspires all who meet her with her life story of growing up with a blatant physical difference and parenting kids who share her difference.   Her message of “the things that make me different make me, me” is heartfelt and impactful and resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.  Meg’s mission of building acceptance, tolerance, and empathy is more important now than ever before.  Everyone who has the pleasure of hearing Meg’s story and her vision will be better for it.
