Founded in 1993, we are a nonprofit, volunteer driven 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 school.
​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!​
