How does URSTRONG work?

URSTRONG is all about empowering kids with friendship skills!  We’ve developed a proven, skills-based strategy that teaches kid-friendly concepts, skills and language to help them build and maintain healthy friendships.

Research shows whole-school approaches are the most effective. Our URSTRONG Schools create a common language of friendship among kids, teachers, and parents.
Kids love to recite the 4 Friendship Facts which helps them understand what to expect in their friendships.
The Friend-o-Meter is a great tool to understand how kids feel about their friendships and what they can do to improve them.
The Friend-o-Cycle helps kids understand how they can put out Friendship Fires and make their friendships closer and stronger.
URSTRONG encourages kids to stand up for themselves in a kind, respectful way. Identifying if a conflict is a Friendship Fire vs Mean on Purpose is key!

What educators are sharing with us

We love what we do and we love hearing the heart-warming stories from parents and teachers about the impact URSTRONG is having on the special kids in their lives!

This is one of the best, most impactful practical applications of wellbeing science in schools that we have seen.
