OUR VISION.
In our current cultural and technological climate, our society is suffering from more cases of anxiety and depression than ever before, and at younger and younger ages. With our resources distributed inequitably, and community violence filling our news feeds, it has never been more important to ensure our kids have the tools they need to digest the world around them. Our work at Worthy Beyond Purpose is to offer kids a practice to look inward first when seeking solutions, to use words over fists, and to reclaim their sense of identity, calm, and grounding, no matter what circumstances show up in their everyday life!
Through our programming, kids, teachers, parents, and school leaders and community support organizations gain the tools needed to develop self-regulatory skills that are proven to improve our kids' relationships with their peers, education, and self.
3 out of 4 kids with mental health needs do not receive treatment despite having health care coverage. Of those that do, 80% rely on the programs existing within their education system to do so. With quantitative, neuroscientific data behind us, our programs are proven to build a more positive outlook and create life-long coping skills.
Offering these lessons, and helping to transform them into habit during a child's most formative years, is the key to setting them up for success when life's inevitable adversities arise. The more integrated these skills, in not just kids but the community that shapes them, the greater the potential for change.
In an ever faster, brighter, more distraction filled world, we teach kids, teens and adults a practice to unplug, learn about and listen to their bodies, and tap into their individual, creative minds as their guide.
Our kids deserve access to the magic inside!
