About Bright Minds Kids’ Stroke Education
My why for creating Bright Minds Kids evolved after my own stroke at 39 years old. I had 3 young children under 8 years old and I found it difficult to find non threatening ways to explain to my own kids what had happened to me.
I looked all over the internet for resources and interviewed stroke leaders, national associations and educational organizations in my kids school district and still found there was a huge gap in educational resources and age appropriate tools for learning about stroke awareness and developing healthy habits early to build a resilient brain.
One my Bright Minds Kids page you’ll find a few resources I developed, but unfortunately what I learned is we are not dedicating time or money to this subject because what I heard in my research was the incorrect message overwhelmingly prevails which is "Kids Don't Have Strokes".
This thought process is wrong, we need to educate all our bright minds, young and old alike to KNOW STROKE!
Bottom Line:
My Lessons Learned: Unfortunately not much has changed in the schools or at the national level to support this important cause to educate kids about stroke.
