Ellen Dreezens
Help a child in need, be a helper grown up
Ellen speaks about a key topic: how adults can act as helpers and emotional guides while children are going through rough times, especially while grieving. Her TEDx talk is called “Help a child in need, be a helper grown-up” and like all the stories that we watch in TEDx, her inspiration comes from a personal experience as a grieving child. Ellen trusts in the resilience of children, however, she identifies the need of having a grown-up next to them to explain things they cannot comprehend yet. At the same time, this adult can act as a guide who will help these kids to find themselves. Ultimately, these actions will make a huge difference in the life of a child.
