  Helping Families to Make Informed Health Care Decisions


   

Health Education, Advocacy, & Literacy (H.E.A.L.) is a professional consulting organization that helps individuals and families make health choices that work for them. H.E.A.L.'s mission is two-fold: to support, inform and empower people caring for children, and to reform the role of health care in the lives of individuals and in our society at large. Our focus is on issues considered controversial or hard to address in the traditional medical community. These include home birth, long term breastfeeding, decisions related to immunization and circumcision, emotional/behavioral issues and school problems, and antibiotic abuse. We provide individual consult services to families wishing to discuss anything concerning the health of infants, children and adolescents. We also provide counseling and psychotherapy services to families and people of all ages, educational workshops to parents, caregivers and groups, and we are available for public speaking engagements. Take a look at what we have to offer and see how you can benefit from thinking outside the health care box.

Doctor and Kid - Contact us or visit our Magnolia, Texas, health care consulting office for information on breastfeeding, immunizations, home births, and alternative health care topics.

Know Your Options, Make an Informed Decision
We offer treatment and referral services in the context of individual consults, but we do not offer hospital based services, and we do not guarantee the availability of any service.  H.E.A.L.'s director, Dr. Krenie Stowe, is a pediatrician with 20 years of clinical experience.

The Maternal & Family Clinic in The Woodlands does have 24 hour a day phone access, extended hours, on site lab and x-ray, and hospital privileges, but Dr. Stowe is just one member of that group.  


We have recently launched a new project. We have started a learning community for unschoolers, self-directed youth and anyone who wants to support their child's inherent desire and ability to learn free of coersion and control. It is called The Real School a.k.a. Dragon Valley. We began our second 'school' year on 9/5/07. There will be ongoing dialogs throughout the year to discuss radically different educational models.
Join us for the next 
Open Dialog on Education Saturday August 23rd at 3pm 
we share space with HEAL at 5020 Dickson St., Houston, 77007 and we will share the new location as well
Contact us for more information or go to The Real School's website below
