About the Eric Palmer Memorial Foundation
Recognizing the effects of emotional stress and anxiety on the health and wellness of children
Eric Palmer Memorial Foundation (Eric Foundation) is a Society incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, and is a Registered Charitable Organization in Canada under the Income Tax Act.
Our goals are to:
- raise awareness of the effects of emotional stress and anxiety on the health and wellness of children
- Provide educational opportunities and support for parents, caregivers and children
- Educate on the link between autoimmune disease and anxiety
Anxiety and emotional stress can surface very early. It is vital that parents and teachers work with children at a young age. We hold presentations for parents and teachers of children in Kindergarten to Grade Five. Anxiety contributes to many physical illnesses. Developing coping strategies early results in better long-term health.
The goal is to provide Strategies to deal with Anxiety.
