She helped develop the Child Custody Stress Prevention Project assisting in the protection of children during the experience of their parents' divorce.

Youth2 helps interested young people turn their ideas of helping our world into realities. Youth2 helps to teach philanthropic and leadership skills along the way with its innovative programing. The thread of continuity in Beverly's work is her understanding of child development and her respect of the young by hearing and responding to their voices. Helping others enhances the mental health of our youth in many ways\, giving hope and meaningful purpose to work toward the change they want to see in our world. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
