Center of Self-Esteem
Love is the Only AnswerCenter of Self Esteem is a non-profit organization that provides support information on ways to improve one self-esteem. This information will assist children and family members in learning techniques to improve their communication skills, develop leadership skills and interpersonal relationship. As a result, many families develop enhanced positive communication and relationships. To avoid peer pressure and the desire to "fit in" or belong to a group due to rejection or social isolation. Our main focus is to educate children and parents about how the HIV AIDS virus is contracted and how it can be prevented or contracted. Although it is a condition that imapcts adults, it affects the children of adults and is passed on to children due to the sexual behavior of parents. We will provide information and educational resources to prevent the incidence of a child contracting AIDS.
When people feel better about themselves and receive positive feedback unrelated to what they do, they develop feelings of security, importance and self worth which raise their self-esteem. After learning how to change their behavior, their self-value and attitude changes automatically from negative to positive. When children feel wanted and needed, it shows up as high self-esteem. This gives them a better opportunity to cope with negative feedback, conflict, feelings of hopelessness, helplessness and frustration. They become less likely to seek negative attention, engage in self-destructive behaviors and/or use mind-altering substances to feel good about themselves. Then they feel they can make a difference in life. Persons with high self-esteem, a positive attitude, and character are the future leader of tomorrow.
Our Mission Our mission is to increase self-esteem of children and adults to promote a greater level of empowerment. We offer information and a caring response to the emotional needs of persons and families in distress by promoting a higher level of self-worth, self-discipline, improved behavior awareness of self in relation to others, positive attitude and the empowerment of a "Yes I Can" attitude to situations, people and events. Our Place is a center created for the overall mission of empowering people through its educational resources and information that can lead to the expression of negative, inappropriate behavior, violence, and acts of aggression. The goal is to increase the awareness of self-value, self-worth, positive relationships and a cooperative attitude; consequently elevating self-respect, respect for others and an enhanced self-esteem.
