EmpowerU for California Students
Increase Student Motivation, Mental Wellbeing & Success
Resilience cannot simply be taught — it must be learned through application. EmpowerU’s data-driven programs meet students, families, and teachers where they are to provide expert support and produce lasting results.
With EmpowerU, skill-building instruction empowers students to bridge the gap between core resilience, persistence concepts, and individual goals and challenges. This connection boosts motivation, well-being, and overall success. EmpowerU’s unique learn-reflect-feedback loop helps students internalize these skills and strategies, ensuring lasting, meaningful outcomes.
The EmpowerU Difference
Student-Centered Approach
The EmpowerU difference hinges on a student-centered philosophy. Unlike most mental wellness programs that merely teach key concepts, EmpowerU is centered around each individual student. Students set their own personal goals and then apply the acquired skills they learn toward achieving those goals. This personalized approach fosters evidence-based growth, and it works! Nine out of ten students enrolled in EmpowerU make goal progress.
Force Multiplier for Staff
EmpowerU delivers counselors and teachers an evidence-based, turnkey, manageable system without overburdening them with another tool to learn and implement. Staffing shortages only exacerbate the mental wellbeing crisis nationwide, but EmpowerU enables schools to reach every student without needing more hires or extra work for current staff. The average ROI for each $1 invested in EmpowerU is 18X.
Increased Resilience Drives Academic Gains
EmpowerU measures emotional competency and shares growth results in real time on an individual, school, and district level through live dashboards. Customer Success Managers also provide reports that measure the impact on academics and behaviors. In fact, 93% of students find EmpowerU helpful to wellbeing. Improving wellbeing, in turn, leads to increased academic success and decreased behavior problems.
