Two decades of research by the team and others shows that helping people learn about their neural traps and finding ways to transcend them can undo most of our brain's vulnerabilities. The Resilient Option program helps overcome these traps in four modules:
.
Online, video-based curriculum
.
Skills build in small incremental steps
.
Games, breathing exercises, quizzes, interactive activities
.
In over 30 clinical trials, our core program (SMART for adults) has shown high effectiveness for improving stress, anxiety, resilience, mindfulness, happiness, quality of life, and health behaviors.
.
Provides resilience skills (focus, uplifting emotions, reframing, relationship building, problem solving, learning, patience, handling disappointments)
.
A 12-week immersive program
.
Formal live instruction: 45-minutes a week
.
Videos, books, and other materials
.
Available for both schools and parents
.
Adapted from Dr. Sood's SMART curriculum to integrate into SEL and the PBIS framework, Tiers 1 and 2.

Hundreds of rigorous studies show SEL matters. SEL interventions improve academic outcomes, and are useful for:
.
Managing emotions
.
Cultivating empathy
.
Problem solving
.
Decision making
.
Positive relationships
SEL skills can help children with better attitude and behaviors, closer friends, and superior academic performance (by up to 11 percentile points).
SEL can have positive impact up to 18-years later on several important outcomes: academics, emotional distress, conduct problems, drug use.
SEL skills in kindergarten are associated with lower law and order problems, lesser need for public assistance, and spending time in a detention facility.
A wide variety of groups support SEL: Teachers, Scientists, Parents, Employers, Educators, Principals, and Students.
.
Millions of children struggle with attention (focus) problems
.
Attention strongly influences emotions, behavior, relationships, problem solving, and learning
.
Weak attention interferes with improving most other skills
Research shows teacher wellbeing and engagement is essential to program success.
For over a decade, we have been offering stress management and resilience training to teachers and staff.
In a clinical trial, our resilience training significantly improved stress, anxiety, happiness, gratitude, life satisfaction, and quality of life among public school teachers and staff.
Please contact us if you are interested in bringing our resilience program to the staff and teachers at your school.
“Participating in this program sparked my passion for wellness… I was able to apply mindfulness to my classroom and incorporate a morning stretch routine to get students focused and ready to start their day.”
