Summary

Resilience Inc. is a nonprofit organization that offers Social Emotional Learning (SEL) tools to K-12 schools to improve mental health as well as reduce mass shootings, suicide, depression, declining test scores, low student engagement and other school-specific challenges.

We aim to increase SEL skills using a curriculum, videos, virtual reality, and PC games that focus on five core concepts:

1. Self-awareness
2. Self-control
3. Social awareness
4. Relationship management
5. Goal setting and effective decision-making

Resilience also provides tools for acquiring and maintaining inspiration, hope, and overall well-being.
