This program is a tool and guide for our youth, who are currently navigating their teen and adolescent years.

This program provides fundamental self-management, leadership, mindfulness, emotional management, and life skills as well as introduces youth to an array of mind matters and social issues that are facing today’s youth.
Tools in this program will help you deal with stress, anxiety, and anger, and a set of proactive strategies to optimize your mental wellness and become mentally stronger to have to knowledge and skills to deal with issues that young people face every day. They must learn how to take care of their mental wellness so they can become mentally stronger, and resilient to life’s challenges and obstacles avoiding crisis and building thriving lives.

Youth today lack fundamental self-management skills. This is especially true for youth entering middle school and beyond.

This lack of self-management has a significant impact on multiple areas for youth including:
• Mental Wellness
• Emotional awareness
• Relationships
• Communication
• Student Success
• Lacking confidence
• Making poor choices

What you will get from this program
• Learn the 12 fundamental principles of self-mastery and leadership
• Gain over 72 tools and strategies to implement into your life and utilize as you grow through your adolescence and into adulthood
• Gain a new community of new friends based on growth, development, and leadership
• Gain a better understanding of yourself and recognize areas for improvement and growth
• Understanding how our thoughts, feelings, and actions all work together
• Develop self-confidence and tactics to upskill your own emotional intelligence
• Goal Setting and Accountability that will lead to a positive impact on your life

After this program
• Feel happier and more joy in your life – Reduce stress, anxiety, depression
• Take charge of your life and your future
• Have more confidence in yourself – Achieve and do more because of confidence
• Improve your relationships with yourself, family, friends, work, and school
• Better communicate with yourself, family, friends, work, and school
• Make better choices in our lives

These principles are critically important for youth to learn as they grow. Without these necessary SKILLS, we are setting youth up for failure in the future.

By being proactive, we can support youth in becoming mentally stronger, and more resilient to life’s challenges but give them all the tools they need to overcome life’s challenges, obstacles, and adversities. And be proactive in preventing crises including, depression, suicide, addiction, domestic violence, and homelessness.

When we do not take control of our thoughts and mind the world will program it for us with outside sources that not just affect today but the rest of our lives.
What we do today matters!
