WELCOME TO GLORIES HAPPY HATS

Glories Happy HATS (GHH) is a non-profit organization aimed at strengthening social, human and economic capital in youth while, at the same time, increasing levels of peer- support for hospitalized children.

VIRTUOUS CIRCLE

GHH powers the formation of a “virtuous circle” as community youth create Glories hats “filled with happy thoughts!” as a symbol of highly-valued peer-support to hospitalized children.

GHH has identified an emerging need 6.3 million hospitalized children in need of peer-support and constructively designed a significant program delivery model that provides the mechanism for youth involvement to meet product demand while strengthening teamwork, character, leadership and organizational management skills necessary to address the complex set of challenges the future brings.

 

Helping Adolescents
Through Service

Peer-support is shown to have the greatest impact on improving positive outlooks in hospitalized children, and, as we all know, outlook can greatly impact health outcomes. Throughout the process of creating Glories hats, participants build knowledge, skills and abilities in service to sick children as they understand the importance of “Staying healthy to help others!”

Participation in the Glories hat-making experiential activities allows youth to recognize hospital appreciation for their role as providers of the psycho-social healing dimensions in the Glories hats. This recognition, in turn, stimulates community awareness and supports four areas of social and economic development: Health Prevention, Awareness and Health Literacy Workforce Readiness and Technology Integration Environmental Stewardship Civic Engagement and Prepared Citizenry.
