 In Kentucky where I practice, we have a law that requires children to have a complete eye examination with an eye doctor before starting school. I get to see lots and lots of kids. I am always amazed at the number of children that have significant vision issues that could affect their ability to perform optimally in school. Often, their parents don’t notice anything is wrong. Studies in Kentucky have shown that about 18 percent of children ages 3 to 6 suffer from significant vision problems. Many vision issues can be difficult to detect and frequently are undiagnosed by the typical pediatrician’s screenings. Vision screenings at school where a child is asked to identify letters or pictures on a wall chart often don’t detect the issue either. Unfortunately, many children with undetected vision problems struggle at school and can be misdiagnosed with attention, behavioral, or reading issues. Often all they really need is correction to give them clear, comfortable vision. Here are some signs to watch out for that may indicate your child has a vision problem: Squinting - Head tilt or turn - Short attention span for reading or coloring - Clumsiness or poor hand-eye coordination - Covering one eye - Rubbing the eyes - Headaches SEE WEBSITE FOR COMPLETE DETAILS |

Other Chapters Alberta - Saskatchewan - Manitoba - Ontario - Quebec - New Bruncwick - Newfoundland For further assistance with chapter location call: The Compassionate Friends of Canada 1-866-823 – 0141 Email: nationaloffice@tcfcanada.net How it all began The Compassionate Friends was founded in Coventry, England in 1969, following the deaths of two young boys, Billy Henderson and Kenneth Lawley, the previous spring. Billy and Kenneth had died just three days apart in the Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital where Rev. Simon Stephens was Assistant to the Chaplain. Simon mentioned Billy's death to Iris and Joe Lawley, and the Lawleys decided to send flowers to Billy's funeral. They signed the card simply, "Kenneth's parents," realizing that the Hendersons would know who they were. Bill and Joan Henderson then invited the Lawleys over for tea, and an immediate bond was formed as the two couples spoke freely about their boys, sharing their memories and the dreams that had died with Billy and Kenneth. They continued to get together regularly, and young Rev. Stephens, then only 23, encouraged them to invite other newly bereaved parents to join them. In 1969 another grieving mother accepted their invitation to meet with Simon and the two couples. They decided to organize as a self-help group and actively begin reaching out to newly bereaved parents in their community. Because the word "compassionate" kept coming up, this new organization was called "The Society of the Compassionate Friends." Simon became a chaplain in the British Royal Navy in the 70's. He was met by bereaved parents at ports around the world, and he helped them to develop their own chapters. TCF had become well-known through U.K. and U.S.A. editions of such magazines as Time and Good Housekeeping. Paula and Arnold Shamres of Florida read Simon's interview in Time Magazine and invited him to visit them in Florida and speak to bereaved parents there. He did, and the Shamres subsequently founded the first U.S. chapter in 1972. Word of the organization spread rapidly through interest generated by the Phil Donahue Show and the columns of Dear Abby and Ann Landers. The Compassionate Friends was incorporated in the United States as a non-profit organization in 1978. In 1989 The Compassionate Friends of Great Britain dedicated a plaque commemorating the founding of the organization, at the Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital where TCF had begun. The plaque was unveiled by their patron, Countess Mountbatten, herself a bereaved parent. Then in November, 1994 Queen Elizabeth presented Iris Lawley with a medal, The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, in recognition of her work on behalf of TCF. There are now Compassionate Friends chapters in every state in the United States—almost 600 altogether—and hundreds of chapters in Canada, Great Britain and other countries throughout the world. In the United States, chapters are open to all bereaved siblings and other family members who are grieving the death of a child of any age, from any cause. |

 The Jim Young Foundation exists to make the world a safer, gentler place for those who struggle with mental health issues. Jim Young was a talented British Columbian wildlife artist who lived in Prince George, BC. Sadly, in 1992, Jim took his own life after a long, private battle with depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. The Jim Young Foundation was launched in July 2015 in parallel with the release of the book, Fireflies: Finding Light in a Dark World by Jim’s sister, Heather Gordon-Young. Fireflies tells Jim’s story. The foundation is governed by a Board of Directors with expertise in counselling psychology; suicide intervention; child and youth mental health; family support programs; international business; and non-profit management. The Jim Young Foundation is working towards better outcomes for children, youth and adults with mental health issues. The foundation’s current priorities include projects whose primary focus is: (1) to create a world that is safer for people with mental health concerns to be understood, to ask for help, to be supported and to access treatment or (2) to provide more supports in rural and regional communities.
