Upcoming Events
Friendships mean the world to kids. But, like any relationship, even BFFs have their ups and downs. Let’s stop telling kids to “Just ignore it!” or “Suck it up!” and, instead, give them tools and strategies for putting out Friendship Fires.

What parents and 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!
Thank you for having the wisdom to offer URSTRONG to boys as well as girls. I see the complexities in boys’ friendships are often underappreciated or mishandled.
