THRIVE Education
“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt
The future of our youth matters.
We want to help.
THRIVE Education serves middle and high school students in public schools and community settings. These populations often lack access to preventative mental health education that promotes emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and effective communication skills. We step in to fill those gaps.
What is THRIVE?
THRIVE is a non-profit healthy relationship education program, dedicated to educating and empowering the youth of Berks County, PA.
For over 10 years, we have offered no-cost presentations to schools and youth programs in our community. Our desire is for all young people to THRIVE not just survive in their relationships and lives.
Our certified educators use the peer-reviewed REAL Essentials curriculum published by The Center for Relationship Education. REAL Essentials aligns with CDC health education standards and is tailored to the developmental stage and needs of each class. Using engaging, age-appropriate lessons, we address key mental health-related topics:
Emotional awareness
Conflict resolution
Identity formation
Boundary setting
Recognizing unhealthy or unsafe relationships
and many more!
Our Program
THRIVE Education provides trauma-informed, relationship-centered programming at no cost; this ensures that our programming is available to all students, regardless of background or economic situation. Using a Whole Person Health model, we help students understand themselves across six areas of well-being: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and financial. This holistic approach helps students build emotional resilience and develop tools to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
