Equip your students and their families with a roadmap to help them THRIVE in life!
Pick Your Package
As faith-based school and organizational leaders, you're deeply invested in the well-being of your students. You recognize that academic success is only one piece of the puzzle. You desire to cultivate health, happiness, and achieved potential. Â
But helping your students flourish in middle school is not easy. In addition to academic challenges secondary to COVID, many of your students face:Â
- Heightened Stress & Anxiety: The pressures of academics, social dynamics, and future planning can be overwhelming.
- Lack of Meaningful Connection: Many students report feeling isolated and lacking strong social support.
- Absence of Purpose: A lack of direction and engagement can lead to demotivation.
- Poor Self-Image: Negative self-perception can impact confidence and overall well-being.
- Ineffective Coping Mechanisms: Students may struggle to manage stress and navigate challenges in healthy ways.
As educators, you understand the important link between overall well-being, brain health development, and the learning process.
You desire to help your students reach their full potential, but find it hard to find the time and resources to tackle non-academic variables, such as family dynamics, mental well-being, and the cultivation of meaning and purpose.
Â
But, what if a turn-key program existed to ease this burden?Â
A Christ-centered program that equips your middle school students (and their families) to not just survive, but truly THRIVE, now and for years to come.
Introducing WE THRIVE
WE THRIVE is a fun and interactive wellness program designed specifically for 7th and 8th grade youth and their parent(s). Our program's mission is simple: to strengthen families, build resilience, and promote overall well-being through the implementation of evidence-based strategies and biblical principles.
Imagine your students:
- Thinking critically and approaching challenges with a growth mindset.

WE THRIVE is more than a program – it's an investment in the future of your students and the strength of their families.
Here's what makes WE THRIVE different and ideal for your school:
Interactive & Engaging:
Short video segments and dynamic activities keep students actively involved and make learning fun.

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:Â Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.
