Our Programs

We offer a wide variety of educational programs catering to children, youth, adults, and organizations that have influential roles in the lives of children such as caregivers and schools.

Social and Emotional Learning for Schools

Social and Emotional Learning for Schools

We partner with schools to offer SEL programs for students, parents, and educators. Using the CASEL framework, we help school communities create emotionally safe, inclusive spaces where children can learn how to manage emotions, build relationships, and thrive — in and out of the classroom.

  • SEL workshops for students (Pre-K to high school)
  • Professional development for educators
  • Schoolwide SEL planning and family engagement
Parenting Support & Education

Parenting Support & Education

We support caregivers with practical, research-backed tools to better understand their children’s emotional needs and build secure, connected relationships — especially during challenging seasons.

Featured Program: Circle of Security® Parenting (COSP)
An 8-week virtual course grounded in attachment theory, designed to help caregivers move beyond behavior management and toward deeper connection, confidence, and emotional attunement. 

In COSP, parents learn to:

  • Understand your child’s emotional needs and respond effectively.
  • Build a secure and trusting bond with your child.
  • Communicate more effectively, reducing conflicts and fostering understanding.
  • Manage challenging behaviors with confidence and compassion.
  • Promote emotional resilience, positive development, sense of security, and self-esteem.
Community Campaigns & Wellness

Community Campaigns & Wellness Events

Through creative, culturally rooted campaigns and special events, we bring emotional wellness into real-life spaces — from homes to community centers to international conferences.

Our current campaigns include:

  • Co-Parent Through Divorce with Confidence: Free video and tools to support children during separation
  • Padres Conscientes – Niños Felices: A holistic family wellness conference in the Dominican Republic
  • You Are Beautifully & Uniquely Crafted: A self-care and empowerment event for women held each February

Wellness Corner

Meditation

On this month’s Wellness Corner, we are highlighting: Meditation. Meditation is a mental practice and technique that involves focusing one's attention and eliminating the stream of thoughts that may be crowding the mind. It's a way to train the mind and induce a state of deep relaxation and mindfulness.

There are hundreds of studies proving the benefits of meditation. Some of the benefits:

  • Reducing Stress & Anxiety
  • Improving Focus & Concentration
  • Enhancing Emotional Well-being
  • Better Sleep Quality
  • Lowering Blood Pressure
