"Brilliant." -Frontline Staff Member
Here's the thing. You are probably overwhelmed. Just about everyone is.
So many things to do every day; so much chaos.
The mental health crisis is starting to show up in every arena.
Especially yours.
Helping people is what you signed up to do.
Unfortunately, it has become more difficult than ever.
So we want to make it simple.
We show up for organizations in survival mode.
Beyond Survival is a care program for your staff designed to help if you are seeing anything like this:
- Frustrating behavior that you just don't know how to respond to
- Anxiety and depression among students and staff at rates you've never seen before
- Clients coming into the program with little to no skills in emotional wellness
- Overwhelm, frustration, burnout among staff with no end in sight
- Leadership fatigue, resulting in you feeling like a ghost of the leader you could be
We want you to know it doesn't have to be this way.
Beyond Survival is not just one more thing. It is a care program designed to gently and simply guide your team through a series of coaching sessions that address why you are in survival mode and how to get out of it.
So what does the program look like?
Beyond Survival is a 12-month coaching program for frontline staff and organization leaders.
It is incredibly simple.
Each month, we meet online for one hour with frontline staff and one hour with leadership.
In that hour, we meet you where you are and help bring your staff out of survival mode through simple strategies, tools, and resources.
EACH MONTH YOU RECEIVE:
- One hour virtual session for frontline staff and one hour with leadership with our experts who help people out of crisis mode, guiding you through practical and simple strategies, tools, and resources that will help your program get out of survival mode and into a state of healthy functioning.
- An implementation guidebook for implementation tips, with a space for personal reflection to help staff digest and process the information. This enhances their ability to take action from what they learned..
- "Offline" access to our experts in a simple, online text group to ask questions and receive support throughout the month until the next call.
Research-Backed Interventions: Neuroscience and Traumatology

Our interventions are backed by science. We give you practical and simple steps to make an impact right away.
In just one hour a month, we equip you with tools that are game-changing (and often life-changing).

BEYOND SURVIVAL PROGRAM CURRICULUM:

6. Behavioral Regulation: Helping Intercept Challenging Behaviors and Prevent Future Concerns
7. The 5 Needs Underlying Challenging Behavior

Still thinking?
That's okay. In crisis mode, it can be hard to make big decisions.
But picture what life will be like next year if you don't make a change, if things stay the way they are.
Clients will still come from difficult situations. Frontline staff will still have stress. You will still have staffing problems. And the mental health crisis isn't going away anytime soon, so hoping things get better isn't going to work.
You need a solution that can meet you in the crisis and not be just one more thing. And you need experts who get it. That's us.

This guide is just a small glimpse into the kinds of simple and yet profoundly helpful resources we provide to make educators' lives easier in the midst of the chaos and hamster wheel of life.
