The journey through adolescence, that pivotal stretch between childhood and adulthood, throws new challenges their way. The emotional rollercoasters, academic and social pressures, the quest for identity, and the struggle for independence experienced at this stage can leave both youth and parents feeling overwhelmed and disconnected.

Consider the Challenges your Middle School Families are Facing

Parents struggle to understand and support their teens through these turbulent years.
Teens feel stuck in negative thinking patterns and lack effective strategies to overcome challenges.
Families find it difficult to prioritize and establish habits that truly support their teens' healthy brain development and well-being.
Youth feel isolated and struggling to forge genuine, meaningful connections with both family and peers.
Teens grapple with a shaky sense of self and uncertainty about their unique identity and purpose in life.
Youth face fears surrounding the future without a clear vision or the ability to set healthy goals.
Families feel overwhelmed by stress and intense emotions, lacking healthy ways to cope and build resilience.

As an organization that is deeply committed to nurturing the spiritual, emotional, and relational needs of people, you want to help navigate these families through this potentially tumultuous stage.

However, finding the time and resources to create an effective program isn’t easy.

But, what if a turn-key program existed to ease this burden?

A Christ-centered program that equips your middle school families to not just survive, but truly THRIVE, now and for years to come.

We believe that teens thrive better when families thrive together.

Christ-Centered:

Each segment is infused with Scripture to provide guidance on thriving God’s way.

Available to all:

We believe that all youth deserve the opportunity to thrive in life and thus are invested in increasing access.

Meet the Program Creator

Dr. Kristen Goree, DNP, APRN, CNS, FNP-BC, NEA-BC

Hi, my name is Kristen, and I am the founder and CEO of The Center for World Impact. A few quick things you might want to know about me:

I am a Parent: I am the proud mother of two adolescents, one in high school and the other in college. I know firsthand the challenges and opportunities that middle school youth and families face.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner: I have clinical experience caring for adolescent youth in primary care, the emergency department, and other community health settings. I understand the physical and mental health struggles that adolescents face and the neuroscience associated with their developmental changes.

I am a Professor/Academic Leader: I have spent the last 20 years in higher education, teaching, leading, and developing academic programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate level. I know how to develop successful educational programs that foster student learning and produce positive outcomes.

I am a Christian: I have spent my entire adult life as a woman of faith and spent over 7 years serving adolescents through youth ministry. For me, WE THRIVE is not just a program, but a calling on my life to impact the health and well-being of adolescent youth in a way that is both God-directed and God-honoring.
