Perfectly Afflicted gives children the opportunity to find themselves before a bully decides to define them first.
Jeff Lawson and Chris Hendricks are the Co-founders of Perfectly Afflicted, an organization that helps empower youth, especially those who are at-risk of excessive bullying. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death between 10-25 year olds. This is why Jeff and Chris have made it their mission to empower youth in schools, and help them define who they are as people, before someone else does.
