Intra-School and Juvenile Justice Programs

We seek to implement and deliver mentoring services and mental wellness workshops to middle and high school students, and to youth populations that are involved in the juvenile justice system (including those youth currently placed within a juvenile correctional facility or those who have recently been released from a juvenile facility). 

Who we are:

We are a group of individuals committed to the rescue and redemption of those who’ve been labeled as lost, throwaways, or just hopeless. We are comprised of people with vast education and experience from pastors and licensed therapists who learned in school, to those who learned in life and even behind bars. Most of us look like the youth we serve and have similar stories.

What we do:

Workshops delivered in a fun and culturally relevant manner to students during their school day. We bring this revolutionary experience to students in school as well as those incarcerated.

Why we do it:

America is in a mental health crisis and our young people are suffering.

Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among people age 15 to 24 in the U.S. Nearly 20% of high school students report serious thoughts of suicide and 9% have made an attempt to take their lives, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Researchers believe that brain changes in adolescence increase a teen's vulnerability to depression and anxiety, and play a role in the severe gender disparity in these disorders. There is a nearly two-fold increase in mood disorders from 13 to 18, from 8.4% to 15.

Curriculum Design

Our curriculums are carefully crafted by mental health experts who have a strong background in working with adolescents and justice involved youth. We also mix in other evidence based programing to enhance our proprietary system. Our program is crucial for fostering a supportive and healthy learning environment. Such programs promote emotional resilience, reduce stress, and improve overall mental health, enabling students to thrive academically and personally. By prioritizing mental wellness, schools and other institutions can help students develop essential coping skills, enhance their well-being, and create a positive, inclusive community.
