Mental Wellness:

The Foundation of a Happy and Resilient Life.

HAERT =

Happiness, (self) Awareness and Emotional Resilience Training

 

What does Mental Wellness look like?

  • Chill with change.

    Change and other stressors are manageable. We spot the silver linings.

  • Comfort with discomfort.

    We stop avoiding difficult conversations, situations, and tasks.

  • Stronger with struggles.

    We understand the hard stuff pushes us to evolve and grow.

  • Awesome adventures.

    Literally everything becomes an excellent adventure and opportunity.

More than Mental Health

 

Mental Health starts with Mental Wellness.

 
 

Mental Wellness is about prevention.

Prevention means learning skills.

 

Feeling powerless and hopeless often starts early in life.

The good news is that promoting positive Mental Wellness skills can prevent most problems from starting.

For people who already have mental health disorders, early intervention and treatment can help reduce or reverse the impact on their lives.

Students

HAERT teaches the skills and strategies our students need to thrive in this challenging period of their lives…and beyond. We develop resilience, emotional maturity, empowerment and a growth mindset,

Educators/Therapists

HAERT supports Educators, Therapists and Wellness Center staff with the curriculum, skills and strategies to educate students, manage change and stress, handle challenging situations and people, model a growth mindset for students and feel empowered and motivated.

Parents

Parents struggle as their roles and relationships with their teens evolve. As parent coaches and mentors, we need to learn new skills to meet the challenges that are very different from when our students were young children.

  • High School Senior

    “The HAERT Program provides quality information that I’ve both incorporated into my daily life and shared with my family. I even have sticky notes on my monitor to remind me of a few techniques I’ve learned!”

  • High School Parent & Medical Doctor

    “I love the HAERT Program because it’s relevant, easy to watch and extremely practical. As a parent and medical doctor, I find the ‘do-this-in-this-situation’ instructions to be very effective and appealing.”

  • High School Senior

    The HAERT Program… “significantly increased my understanding of mental health and provided coping strategies that allow me to manage anxiety and create a healthier life.”

  • Middle School PE/Health Teacher

    The HAERT Program… “helped me understand underlying emotional reasons why students might be resistant and how to manage that better and encourage participation.”

“Today’s youth need these critical life skills now so that they can learn emotional resilience and develop strong Mental Wellness.

We can no longer wait for them to show up one by one in my therapy office.”
