Learn About The Benefits of a SEL Curriculum

Promoting a social emotional learning program for organizations to foster tolerance and acceptance is our mission at DHIFI. Every child’s individuality is something to be celebrated, and this is something we believe in wholeheartedly at DHIFI. Our mission is to give children and adolescents the confidence they need to accept their unique characteristics and hold their heads high. Our efforts are crucial in helping young people develop into compassionate and confident individuals. We work on developing initiatives for an array of institutions, including schools, centers for higher learning, local businesses and communities.

An Inclusion Program Program

Advancing SEL activities for students lies at the heart of DHIFI’s mission. This entails instructing those who are younger on goal-setting, emotional intelligence, relationship-building, empathy, and making better choices. We amplify SEL’s impact at DHIFI by urging learners to be proud of the things that make them unique, sustained by educational offerings that emphasize growing SEL’s reach, inspiring students to feel pride when it comes to their uniqueness, which is reinforced by endeavors that include:

  • Sharing narratives: Encouraging students to tell their stories strengthens their self-esteem and breaks down the societal constructs that regularly cause bullying.
  • Emphasizing uniqueness: We teach that differences are assets to be proud of, not deficits.

We champion the acceptance of oneself and others and promote respect for individuals from different walks of life, ensuring everyone is aware they have a place, regardless of their differences.

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.
