From the head, to the heart
A simple statement that communicates our vision.
With the help of teachers, school professionals and parents, our fun interactive activities empowers children to flourish.
Discover Our Programs
The programs are based on a well-tested theoretical approach by Lazarus and Folkman (1984). They have demonstrated that the negative consequences of stressful events can be avoided by learning effective coping strategies.
Zippy's Friends
Zippy's Friends is an innovative, evidence-based mental health promotion program that increases coping and socials skills in children 6 - 7 years old.
Apple's Friends
Apple's Friends was developed as a follow-up to Zippy's Friends. The activities consolidate children's achievements, reinforce emotional literacy, and increase their coping skills.
Passport: Skills for life
Passport: Skills for life is a universal school-based program that develops emotional literacy, social skills, and coping skills for children aged 10 to 12.Our programs do not instruct children on what to do. They do not dictate whether "this solution is good or bad." Instead, children are encouraged to explore and think up solutions for themselves.
Real Results
Our programs have increased children's range of coping strategies, improved academic achievement, and have a positive effect on the classroom environment.
