Suicide Prevention
Our young gems experience significant stress in today’s world, leading many to consider suicide. We explore stress management techniques from a trauma informed lens. Allowing storytelling and youth centered leadership to strengthen mental health skills and build awareness of an epidemic affecting many young people.
Recidivism and Incarceration Prevention
Building skills with youth affected by or at risk of incarceration. Our trauma informed training sessions connect youth to their strengths, identify goals, opportunities and relationships that will build their foundations of success.
Human Trafficking Prevention and Awareness
Many young people are at risk of being trafficked. Our youth human trafficking prevention training uses engagement to help build confidence and independence. Additionally, we build awareness to identify risk factors and what to do if they think someone they know is being trafficked.
Social Media and Mental Health
Our inspirational and uplifting workshops give youth the information they need to better navigate social media with their physical, mental, and spiritual health in mind.
Violence Prevention
Fighting. Gun violence. Incarceration. Our young people need better skills to navigate modern society. We engage youth through storytelling and conversation to identify methods of commanding their voice and building connections.
Self Confidence and Skill Building

Healthy Relationships and Boundaries
We center youth’s needs and desires as we work with youth to define safety in their communities, homes and relationships. We empower youth and build their confidence to better uphold values and boundaries.
