CBI Foundation

Building Character - Changing Lives

ABOUT US
The CBI Foundation works to improve mental and emotional well-being through programming aimed at children, adolescents, and adults who work with children. Through our programs, we empower young people to practice self-care, build support networks of peers and trusted adults, and confidently work towards a brighter tomorrow for their own generation.

Our work complements, rather than supplanting, the fantastic resources already available in schools and communities. Together with the communities we serve, we are building a bridge to better mental and emotional health for our children.

Motivational Speaker

Ben Crawshaw, a business growth consultant and motivational speaker, is the presenter for You're A Dream, Baby assemblies. After facing rough times in his own life, Ben realized that he was in control of his own thoughts and could take back control of his life through choosing more positive patterns of self-talk. His ideas have resonated with young people, and he now has helped hundreds of students recognize their own potential and practice more effective self-care and self-motivation. Ben's three daughters give him strength and remind him daily of the importance of helping children and adolescents take control of their mental and emotional wellness and become the best versions of themselves.

Donation Amount

You're A Dream, Baby is a completely free school assembly program provided by the CBI Foundation to support mental and emotional wellness. Our speaker, Ben Crawshaw, is skilled at helping kids recognize their own potential and become motivated to create change in themselves and their communities.
The assembly program is completely free and is provided through the generosity of donors who believe in the mission of the CBI Foundation.
You're a Dream, Baby events are not a replacement for school psychologists or other great services and programs already available at schools. Rather, our programs encourage students who may be at risk of needing professional services to practice self-care and build support networks, while encouraging student leaders to support their peers. Our events also help promote your school's existing services to students who may be in need of support but who have not yet reached out for help.
It's easy to apply! Just email us at cbifoundation@yahoo.com and let us know you're interested. Someone from our team will reach out to you quickly to confirm next steps.
