Lunch and Learn Event - Confident Body Confident Child - Oct 2025

On October 22nd, our team at White Pine Center for Healing had our second Lunch And Learn event at Erie’s Commonwealth Charter Academy to share our Confident Body, Confident Child program, an evidence-based initiative focused on preventing poor body image in children and nurturing lifelong confidence.

The turnout was amazing. We were blown away by the number of educators, parents, and supporters who showed up ready to learn, connect, and have honest conversations. A heartfelt thank you to Debbie Uht, President at PCMSI, whose generous sponsorship made this event possible. Your dedication to the wellbeing of young people is truly appreciated.

We’re deeply grateful to every participant who showed up with openness and vulnerability. These kinds of conversations (where we name the hard stuff, hold space for each other, and explore new ways to support our kids) are invaluable. This is how strong, confident communities are built.

Because of the enthusiasm and thoughtful engagement we witnessed, we’re already planning more Lunch & Learns on this empowering topic in the future. Stay tuned because there’s so much more good work to come.

Together, we are raising a generation that feels strong in their bodies, secure in their worth, and confident in who they are.

We are extrmely grateful for the participants and their level of vulnerability during the Q&A section. Thank you again for showing up and helping our community at large, one confident child at a time!
