Feeling strong campaigns are school-wide efforts to teach valuable social and emotional skills to students who are in need of them. 

We use SMS (texting) technology to reach students where they are (on their phones) and bring them the life-saving training they need.

Many schools struggle to find time in the school day to implement our classroom curriculum. Therefore, we have solved this challenge by delivering the curriculum videos straight to the students.

Using a reverse-classroom strategy, the students view the videos on their own time and then gather in small groups during the week to discuss the application of the lessons learned. It's simple, fun, and transformative.

Students who participate in all four campaigns throughout the year learn the following:

Campaign #1: Expect the Unexpected
This campaign teaches students why they get so upset with themselves, others, or with life in general. We explain how our expectations and rigid demands are the reason why we get so upset when things don't go our way. We discuss perfectionism, approval addiction, fairness expectations, and much much more.

Campaign #2: Reality Check
This campaign helps students identify the cognitive distortions that often prevent us from seeing things objectively. We discuss jumping to conclusions, catastrophizing, labeling, and much much more.

Campaign #3: Conflict Revolution
This campaign helps students identify the four reasons why people are mean and how to respond to them accordingly. We discuss bothering, joking, hurting, and criticisms.

Campaign #4: How To Cope
This campaign helps students learn time-tested coping techniques that lower the importance of everyday offenses. We teach them how to ask: How could this have been worse? Why won't this matter in my future? How could this turn out for my good?

We have different videos for lower and upper grades to ensure that the lessons speak in a way they understand.

70% of middle schoolers have phones. 95% of high schoolers have phones as well. This campaign appeals to those age groups because we provide the lessons directly to their mobile device.

For the elementary ages (or those older students without phones), we encourage schools to invite parents to take part in the campaign. When a parent receives the text message, they are perfectly positioned to watch the training together with their child. This creates powerful parent/school collaboration and reinforces the message that the school cares about the emotional wellbeing of their child. Parents report learning along with their children and appreciating the skills taught.

We think it's important that the school provides a touch-point for the lessons learned. That is why we have designed a facilitator program to go alongside the campaigns. Each week of the campaign, the facilitator offers extra-curricular time (during lunch or before/after school) to gather students together and discuss the lessons learned. 

We also include games/activities that make the time meaningful and interactive. There is very little prep work needed for the facilitator to do a great job, and in many cases, only one facilitator is needed.

We have found that school counselors prefer to facilitate and run campaigns and this provides a way for them to connect with students in a group setting.

The cost for our 4 campaigns is $1,000 yr.

You will have one-year access to all of the campaigns and you can work with our office to trigger the campaigns at a date of your choosing.

Once you purchase, we will contact you to talk you through the simple process.
