“I used to talk to only one person in my friend group,” recalls Becca,
an ASLP Student from Oneida Nation.
“Now I talk to about half the people in my whole class.”
As she continues to build self-confidence, Becca finds herself leading discussions with younger students—an experience she never thought she would have. At first, she was nervous, especially teaching eighth graders; but by pushing through her self-doubt, she discovered a calm assuredness within herself.
“Now I am teaching,” she reflects. “It’s strange but empowering.”
- Becca, ASLP Student
from Oneida Nation

"It wasn't just about managing my teaching workload... it was about finding a balance, being able to approach each day with a clear mind."
"What I appreciate most about Brain Power Wellness is that it offers the opportunity to work with one's peers in a way that isn't competitive but, instead, challenges everyone to grow together."
- Todd Mueske, CTL
Oneida Middle School
"Not one day has passed since that I have not engaged in some form of wellness, thanks to the tools Brain Power Wellness provided me with to truly take care of myself – physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially – to be able to carry out the awesome responsibility of leading an entire school community."

Bronx P.S. 6

"We brought the Brain Power Wellness program to James G. Blaine this year, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable. I was approached by numerous teachers and support staff who expressed profound gratitude, emphasizing how essential and timely the session was, and how they anticipate it will profoundly benefit our students in the upcoming academic year. Their personal text messages expressing appreciation for the opportunity underscore the value of the experience. I am genuinely optimistic that James G. Blaine is poised to achieve significant improvements in academics, attendance, and student behaviors during the 2025-26 school year, thanks to Brain Power Wellness."
- Gianeen Anyika, Principal
James G. Blaine Elementary, Philadelphia
