ABOUT US 

Feeling Strong is grounded in proven psychological research, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERPT) as the foundation of our mental health education. These evidence-based approaches help students recognize and reframe negative thought patterns, develop emotional resilience, and manage anxiety effectively. CBT equips students with practical coping strategies, REBT teaches them to challenge irrational beliefs, and ERPT provides structured exposure techniques to reduce fear-based avoidance. By integrating these research-backed modalities into our curriculum and training, Feeling Strong delivers life-saving mental health education that empowers students to take control of their emotions, build confidence, and thrive in any situation.

Feeling Strong is built on a trauma-informed framework, ensuring that every lesson, strategy, and interaction is designed with sensitivity to the diverse experiences of students. We recognize that many young people carry the weight of past trauma, and our approach prioritizes safety, trust, empowerment, and emotional regulation. Our content fosters a supportive learning environment by using strength-based language, avoiding re-traumatization, and equipping educators with tools to help students navigate difficult emotions. By integrating predictability, choice, and connection into our lessons, we create a space where all students—especially those with trauma histories—can develop resilience at their own pace. Feeling Strong gives educators confidence that they are providing mental health education in a way that is compassionate, research-backed, and attuned to the needs of every student.

Feeling Strong isn’t just educational—it’s high-energy, interactive, and fun! Our live school assembly broadcasts turn mental health education into an engaging experience, packed with games, challenges, and real-time surveys that keep students actively involved. In the classroom, our curriculum brings learning to life with informative and hilarious video lessons, thought-provoking discussion guides, and exciting games that make resilience-building both meaningful and memorable. Educators love our fast-paced, highly practical professional development training, which consistently earns rave reviews for its engaging delivery and immediately useful strategies. At Feeling Strong, we believe that learning about mental health should be as entertaining as it is empowering, ensuring students and teachers alike are fully engaged every step of the way.

Feeling Strong is committed to creating real, measurable change in schools. Our resilience education isn’t just inspiring—it’s transformative. Schools that implement our resources see a tangible impact, thanks to our optional pre- and post-surveys, which provide critical data on students’ emotional resilience. This insight helps educators identify trends, prioritize the most impactful lessons, and recognize which students need the greatest support. By equipping schools with actionable data and research-backed strategies, we move beyond just delivering a powerful message—we help cultivate a school-wide culture of resilience. With Feeling Strong, schools don’t just teach mental health—they see it improve.
