Evidence-based online lessons combined with embedded 1:1 coaching is proven to increase student mental health, wellbeing and academics

HICKORY, NC, UNITED STATES, March 9, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the need for student mental health support rises at an unprecedented rate, EmpowerU, a leading provider of evidence-based resilience programs for K-12 school districts, announced today its expansion into North Carolina. The company will be exhibiting at the March 22-24 North Carolina Association of School Administrators Conference in Concord and has already begun partnering with North Carolina school districts to provide solutions for the growing student mental health crisis.

“According to the latest NC Healthy Schools biennial survey, mental and emotional health challenges are increasing among North Carolina high school students,” said Jack Hoke, Executive Director of the North Carolina School Superintendents Association. “Students are struggling with non-academic barriers to success including stress, lack of focus and overwhelm. Our North Carolina Superintendents Association is always looking for business partners that can bring evidence-based, proven solutions to our member districts that expand their capacity to meet this urgent need for student support.”

EmpowerU’s resilience-building programs combine vital skill-building lessons with 1:1 online daily support by EmpowerU instructors that help students improve emotional wellbeing and meet their goals. The affordable solution creates dedicated time for students to build the tools they need to succeed – in both school and life. The course is aligned with the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) and National Health and Wellness standards and measures student growth using the Prochaska/DiClemente Transtheoretical Model of Change.

“What makes EmpowerU’s program unique,” said Michelle Langenfeld, Ed.D. Former Superintendent Green Bay Area Public School District (Wisconsin), “is the 1:1 personalized coaching each student receives via the online portal and the partnership EmpowerU provides to school staff. EmpowerU works in collaboration with school teams - counselors, MTSS coordinators, teachers and school principals - sharing student progress and real-time insights on the live dashboard. This helps to expand a district's capacity to serve more students.”

EmpowerU has programs for families, students, classrooms and educators. And the results speak for themselves. Pre-to post data shows over 90% of students make significant goal progress and over 93% increase confidence, grit and wellbeing. 98.5% of students would recommend EmpowerU to a friend.

“Whatever the needs of your district,” says Katie Dorn, Empower U's Co-founder and CEO, “we have a proven, data-driven solution that is affordable and easy to implement. But most importantly, we’re helping students at a time when they need it most. And that’s the entire mission of our company- to help students become self-directed, confident, engaged learners that can thrive in the face of adversity.”
