Transforming Turmoil into Caring
Connection with Self and Others

A Wellness Habit for Lifelong Empowerment

The Challenge:

1 in 5 students have symptoms of a mental health disorder. Others may be bullied, violent, depressed, addicted, or at risk in other ways. Educators and youth service workers strive to help, but are weary and lack support; many are quitting, making this disturbing situation even worse.

Our Mission:

We empower champions of youth to transform turmoil into caring connection with themselves and others through the Connection Practice. This wellness habit combines empathy and insight for ongoing personal growth. When champions teach it to students, they learn to ease their distress, confidently meet challenges and resolve conflicts peacefully.

We envision a world where each person has practiced connection until they continually embody it, so that generational pain is healed and generational peace is sustained.

Our Unique Social-Emotional Solution:

empathy + insight = connection

Serving Champions of Youth

Our nonprofit provides champions of youth, such as educators and counselors with scholarships to courses where they acquire this skill. Then they teach it to youth, who learn to ease their own distress.
