HISTORY
We are a group of professionals that realized there is an increased need for teens to understand and navigate their mental health challenges. Our journey began in 2018 with building retreats for teens to feel safe, comfortable and open to learn and implement mental fitness.
ABOUT US
Our organization was initially founded by Alyson Schaefer with the assistance of Tina Hallis and Nancy Kalsow. Today, we are a team of passionate professionals on a crusade to help teenagers empower themselves to combat mental health issues that may arise in their life. We focus on mental fitness and sharing techniques to help teens elevate to the challenges that mental illness may bring.
