What administrators are saying:

This Thrive Resilience for Teens program yielded a 66% reduction in suspensions for substance abuse, and a 40% reduction in Vape (tobacco) suspensions. Thank you for this valuable program that truly steered our most at-risk students back on the right path. We hope to partner with you and the Thrive program.

- Brett Epstein, Assistant Principal, Willis Junior High

What facilitators are saying:

Thrive gives you the opportunity to make the lesson your own, therefore the instructor is highly invested in the lesson. Once you are invested, the teens become invested and you go from a facilitator to a difference maker; and that is what I felt every time I stepped into that classroom with the kids and the teacher. The recap portion of a lesson before you start a new lesson gives a chance to properly close a lesson and introduce the new one so it just flows perfectly. I really enjoyed teaching Thrive and highly recommend this curriculum.

- LaTroy Burras (Youth Programs Coordinator ICAN)

You have truly taught me so much in life. I have learned to calm down so much and I have not been stressed out in so long. I love the way you teach. I finally feel like I have value. Thank you so much!

- "R.O." (Student)

Thank you for coming to our class. I do struggle with anxiety and depression. When people shared, I could relate, even though I didn't talk, I listened and learned a lot about others and myself.
