Across Canada, Educators, Parents, Entrepreneurs and Government Agencies are discovering how Build a Biz Kids is preventing mental health challenges in youth, while also setting them up to THRIVE, long term.
Imagine a world where children woke up each day loving themselves. Where they can validate their own self worth and unique abilities.
What would they be capable of?
When a child can validate themselves from the inside, they no longer need to seek external validation from others. This true SUPERPOWER is the key to preventing mental health challenges in youth. The key is Prevention over Intervention. In order for this to be effective, we must reach children before grade 9, which has been shown to be an “indicator” year of a child’s susceptibility to these risks.
Build a Biz Kids does this by equipping children with highly developed Human Essential Soft Skills (HESS) and cultivating their Growth Mindset, while also providing them with real-world, hands on experiences designed to help them THRIVE in this fast paced world.
