Thanks to our Funny Tummy Feelings program coordinator, Elizabeth Clark!

When bad things happen, children often do not have the vocabulary needed to talk about it. That’s why SAFEchild started the Funny Tummy Feelings program in 1994: to teach kids that they are in control of their bodies. Learn more at safechildnc.org/funny-tummy-fe….

30 years of SAFEchild leaders! Cristin DeRonja, SAFEchild's executive director, is joined by founding director Marjorie Menestres and Michelle Putterman, who launched Welcome Baby (now Moms Supporting Moms) in 1993. Strong leaders = a strong organization!
