Hi I’m Judy Giovangelo, the Founder & Director of Curriculum for Ben Speaks www.benspeaks.org born through the loss of my middle son Ben at 18 who took his own life.

Many today are raising what our organization defines as a Ben. An intuitive, sensitive, creative and highly empathic preteen/teen who has a strong tendency to struggle emotionally, socially, is labeled and often turns to hurting themselves or hurting others to release their emotional pain. Go to Ben Speaks website at www.benspeaks.org for a full description of a Ben.

Today, I’ve got some helpful tips for you that are going to begin to CHANGE the way you view your own intuitive, sensitive, creative and highly empathic preteen/teen.
