Education

Shawnda, the Chief Nitwit, is passionate about educating parents about the ”real story” of lice.

As a School Advisory Council Chairperson, a Girl Guides of Canada leader and, most importantly, a parent, she knows the importance of education.

Shawnda is the founder of Nitwits and is the first Canadian certified by The Shepherd Institute, a research, education, and hair lice removal treatment centre. She welcomes the opportunity to share her professional expertise at no charge during your next function and is also available for media interviews.

Head lice can be scary, both to the parent and the child, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We can help parents separate fact from fiction and educate them on prevention. Contact us for more information.

At Nitwits we believe that the best defense against lice outbreaks is education and that managing head lice from a community level has proven to help prevent outbreaks. Together we need to normalize the subject of head lice as well as deflate the many myths associated with these annoying pests. Confused by the contradictory messaging surrounding head lice? We can help.

We offer informative seminars to help educate our communities on the real facts of lice. We can come to visit parent groups, educators in schools and daycares.

During our seminars we will:

• Teach you all about head lice, the science behind lice and how they spread
• Explain how to beat the life cycle and equip you with the best prevention methods
• Show you examples of lice and nits so when you leave, you know exactly what to look for
• Provide you with informative takeaways to share with your community
