Description
RYI is on the mission to provide adolescents with a personal level of knowledge through sharing similar life experiences.The programs utilize three core principles: Embrace - Expand - Empower to provide them the skill set needed to develop strong self-esteem, confidence, and a deeper understanding of empathy. The organization serves youth between the ages of 10-18 years old, each living with various levels of social trauma and feeling misunderstood. While there are individual or group therapy options, RYI knows there is a lack of free peer to peer support options. Rebuild Yourself Inc. hosts 1.5 hour after school sessions hosted by a mentor that creates a safe environment encouraging kids to share and uplift one another. Each session will emphasize self-awareness, self-management, relationships skills, and responsible decision-making skills.
