Overview

Mission

To share practical tools and research-based resources that people of all ages can use to manage their stress and find health, healing, compassion, and connection - even in difficult times.

What it reported doing in 2024

Program Development Initiatives: In addition to the development and launch of our Reconnecting Through Hard Times curriculum following Hurricane Helene, our team designed and piloted two new programs in early 2024: Reconnect for Better Days and Educator Essentials. Reconnect for Better Days offered participants a deeper understanding of how chronic stress impacts the brain and body, providing practical, science-based tools to manage stress in real time and support daily functioning. Through these sessions, attendees learned to recognize their own stress patterns and apply simple, effective techniques to help them feel better and navigate challenging moments. In parallel, we launched Educator Essentials, a focused workshop designed for teachers, counselors, and school staff. This session introduced our Rapid Reset techniques to help students stay within their optimal learning zones, while also equipping educators with strategies to build more regulated and resilient classroom environments. In 2024, we offered 23 Reconnect for Better Days and 11 Educator Essentials presentations, reaching 604 and 489 participants, respectively. Both pilots were well received, reinforcing the need for accessible, evidence-informed supports that address the everyday challenges of stress and emotional regulation. Among Reconnect for Better Days participants who completed our feedback survey, 95% rated the presentation as Excellent. One participant shared, [I] definitely can use the resources personally, but also professionally. Similarly, 81% of surveyed Educator Essentials attendees gave the presentation this same highest rating with one attendee noting, There is a huge reason why teachers are leaving the profession. Training like you provided today could help to curb those numbers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 76% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
