We replaced detention with recovery. Now students ask to attend.
A free, grant-funded program reducing addiction in Utah schools—
during school hours, with zero student cost.
“It has been heartbreaking to see these students in my office, having to expel them, and unable to do anything to really help them. It was an endless circle of nothing changing. This program is exactly what our school has been looking for. School administrators and teachers are excited. The students are feeling the change. I have hope now.”

For Parents, Educators & Administrators
1. What makes Resilience Ed different from other school programs?
Resilience Ed focuses on recovery, not just prevention. We help students already struggling with addiction through:
-
30-minute, during-school sessions (minimal disruption).
-
Evidence-based methods (CBT, peer support, trauma-informed care).
-
No stigma—privacy-protected and counselor-supported.
2. How do you protect student privacy?
- Only simple behavior measures are taken over time. In class activities are self-reflective, including self-assessments.
- School leadership oversight.
- Anonymous feedback: Students share progress without names attached.
3. Will this take time away from academics?
- Sessions are 30 minutes. Schools opt for them to take place once or twice a week.
- Schools using Resilience Ed are measuring for better engagement in learning and increaed attendance post-program.
4. How is this program free for schools?
- Resilience Ed is funded by:
- Grants (e.g., Positive Behaviors Grant, Title IV Safe Schools).
- Donations from local organizations.
5. What ages/grades is this for?
- Designed for middle and high schoolers (grades 6–12),
6. How do you measure success?
We track:
- Reduction in repeat offenses (e.g., vaping incidents).
- Student self-reports on coping skills.
- School data on absences/discipline referrals.
7. What if parents don’t want their child to participate?
- Parents must opt-in before their student can attend. Schools can reccommend students, or open availability first-come, first-served.
- No labeling: Sessions are framed as “wellness skills,” not “addiction treatment.”
8. How quickly can we launch Resilience Ed?
- 3–4 weeks after grant approval (we may help expedite applications).
9. What’s required from the school?
Just a couple of things:
- Leadership approval.
- Grant approval.
- A staff liaison (e.g., counselor) to coordinate.
- Space for sessions (e.g., empty classroom).
- Obtain parent consent for their student to attend (e.g., surveys, emails, announcements).

Success Stories
L. N. - Teenager
I have the biggest trust issues out there and I trusted her with my issues. I was mentally ready and felt safe enough to take a step.
I was a nicotine addict for 1 year, 30$ every 2 weeks. And that was 5000 puffs (vape) – basically a hit every 10 minutes. I talked to Jenn, and you know what’s good? It took me way less time than I thought.
K. N. - Age 20
All I’m saying is, please get help… Pick the right person, someone who works because they want to, Ms. Jenn was the right person for me.
I was really shy, so all I did was listen and avoid eye contact. But it’s okay because Ms. Jenn got you. She is gentle, she listens to your silence, she hears your unspoken words.
