HiEQ FOR YOUTH

 

Breaking down barriers and building resiliency, adaptability and inner confidence.

A growth mindset challenges ourselves to do the inner work that removes obstacles, transforms adversity into opportunity, and creates resilient, fulfilled lives.

True Connection's innovative SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) curriculum is designed to provide the tools to decrease anxiety and stress and improve the ability to learn, connect, and lead within an educational setting and beyond into life, relationships, and career.

Help youth grow their self awareness and learn to strengthen their mental and emotional health. Students uncover their deepest core values, passions and purpose, as well as goal setting and accountability, to create their own blueprint to success.
