Why We Do What We Do

25% of children come into the school system having experienced some form of trauma by the age of 3.

37% of high school students reported they experienced poor mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

20% of high school students report serious thoughts of suicide and 9% report a suicide attempt.

These heartbreaking statistics drive us to create change.

  • Suicide is on the rise at an alarming rate, particularly among adolescents as the second-leading cause of death.

  • Social emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development, and our children need this support today more than ever.

  • Research shows that an education that promotes SEL has positive impacts including academic performance, social and emotional skills, healthy relationships, and more.
