The Hazelnut Movement
About the Movement
Sharing stories, encouraging questions and inspiring compassion
The Hazelnut Movement was started in 2022 by Julia Erman. She embarked on a mission to provide parents and educators with resources to help them teach their children about other children with special needs.
Having been a special needs parent with two children affected by a very rare genetic disorder within the NKH family, she come to realize that many parents and educators lack the knowledge of how to discuss children with special needs. Some fear saying the wrong thing, while others simply avoid the topic due to a lack of proper guidance. This is where the Hazelnut Movement steps in!
We believe that storytelling is the catalyst for compassion. One book at a time, we aim to initiate those crucial conversations.
If you haven't yet explored our selection of books, I encourage you to do so. I assure you that each page will warm your heart and leave you feeling blessed after reading.
As of July 1, 2024, Luke 14 Ministries and The Hazelnut Movement school programs have officially partnered.
USING YOUR SUPERPOWERS
Helping kids see their unique differences as an opportunity to lean into use their superpowers we know as unique gifts.
Navigating this diversity can be challenging, leading some children to feel inadequate.
Julia, our keynote speaker, is committed to helping today's youth recognize their own unique abilities and 'superpowers,' as well as appreciate the abilities and disabilities in others.
Her keynote will inspire children to embrace their differences as strengths, teaching them how to use these 'superpowers' to assist others who might not share the same abilities.
