IdealMe is an evidence-based program that gives individuals the skills they need to discover their self-worth, confidence, and an awareness of their strengths and weaknesses.
Research has shown that people who are resilient (able to bounce back from adversity) are more likely to succeed at school, develop healthy peer relationships, and are less likely to develop mental health problems. This program helps youth and their families to develop life skills that build resilience and social-emotional skills in order to cope with everyday life stresses and challenges.
