A group, Surest Firm Foundation Academy is set to help children reduce the effects of trauma- induced Imposter Syndrome, which has prevented them from maximising their potential early in life.
Imposter Syndrome is a behavioural health phenomenon, described as self-doubt of intellect, skills or accomplishments among high achieving individuals¦
The group is concerned about helping traumatised and vulnerable children find wholeness, navigate life more easily and add value to the society.She observed that a lot of children have experienced trauma to the point that it has impacted their physical, mental, and social well-being.
She added that some children cannot relate with other children because of imposter syndrome at different levels, cultivated in them by internal and external influences.
Children should believe in themselves. They should be equipped with the tools and skills needed for intrapersonal relationships, to enhance their level of self-awareness, to unlock their potential, and launch theirself-confidence. Adeniyi disclosed that the bimonthly awareness and transformational programme is focused on children andtheit parents.
We are concerned about vulnerable and traumatised children. Our targeted audience are Primary School children – one year to 20 years, while secondary audience are parents.
According to Adeniyi, This vision was birthed from the pain and hurt of my early traumatising experiences. Adeniyi said: Destiny has now placed me in a space that serves as a constant reminder of my battles with the negative consequences of internalised trauma and the PTSD that results from it as I go through life.
The unfavorable consequences prevented me from successfully climbing the ladder of success to the top, instead, I remained on the step I had previously ascended before life happened,she disclosed.
Earlier on, Cleanliness is next to godliness as popular maxim, the group and children collectively cleaned some part of Lagbasa community as service to Humanity with supervision of the speakers and team members .
