How We Started
The initial spark to start Be Priceless was to empower children and families from disadvantaged backgrounds in strengthening their growth, well-being and safety. We developed the SEED course (Self-Value, Educate, Empower, Protect from dangers) to build an evidence and best practice based to build helpful and healthy knowledge, skills, mindsets and practices.
We work by shared partnership and listening to the community members we hope to serve. Our program is created through with more than 200 multicultural community members including children, parents and many diverse professionals (from educators, doctors, nurses, public health professionals, child protection experts, psychologists, social workers, mindfulness teachers, researchers, and more)
We continuously seek the views of children, caregivers, care service providers (e.g. social workers, teachers) by conducting interviews that tell us of the needs, barriers and opportunities to strengthen well-being and safety. Their participation is foundational to building SEED courses that respect and address their views, needs and context.
Accountability is also core to our approach. For example, before starting the SEED course for children, two internal pilot studies were done to ensure positive impact and safety. Our courses are continuously improved through participant feedback and up to date expertise.
