Building Social Emotional Resiliency in Students
Because I Said I Would High School Chapters are designed to cultivate social-emotional resilience in students, fostering a sense of personal responsibility and promoting good citizenship. Students learn practical skills—honesty, compassion, accountability, and self-control—that empower them to navigate mental health challenges, succeed in higher education, excel in the workforce, and lead a more compassionate and fulfilling life.
Our program uses a research-based, full-year curriculum focused on setting personal goals with peer-based accountability support, character development workshops, and service learning projects. Have more questions? Check out the sections below!
