Barbara Nicholson honored
API is pleased to share that Barbara Nicholson, API Co-founder, has been named a 2012 Celebration of Women Mentoring Women Honoree by the Maternal Infant Health Outreach Worker (MIHOW) Program at the Center for Health Services, Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
"The spirit of MIHOW is embodied in the idea that women are powerful because they see and nurture the power in others. A mentor is someone who impacts her community by recognizing strengths in places where others don't see them and by helping women build on those strengths to find their own power." The MIHOW Program is a peer-to peer mentoring program that helps low income mothers in isolated and underserved communities be the best parents they can be. MIHOW workers visit mothers in their own homes to help them help themselves -- building the mother's confidence and skills to get the health and social services her family needs.
Barbara Nicholson served as a La Leche League Leader for many years, cofounding API with Lysa Parker in 1994, serves on API's Board of Directors, and is the co-author with Lisa of Attached at the Heart: 8 Proven Parenting Principles for Raising Connected and Compassionate Children. Barbara will be recognized at the Women Mentoring Women Luncheon on March 2, 2012. Congratulations, Barbara! All of us at API thank you for all the mentoring you have done for us.
