Founded in 1993, we are a totally volunteer non-profit organization that continues to research, develop and produce highly acclaimed educational programs in various formats. Our programs address the critical issues, needs and concerns affecting children to young adults. We also provide support materials for home and schools.
​As parents, we want the best for our children - the best relationships, schools and jobs. In order to provide the best, we must equip them with the knowledge and tools required to navigate the ever-changing world and the unfair, dangerous or negative emotional situations they may face. Thank You for visiting!
