GENESIS Youth Program
What is GENSIS?
GENESIS is a psychoeducational intervention and peer support program. This means it provides practical tools, strategies, and a supportive community for personal growth and emotional well-being. It's crucial to understand that it is not a substitute for professional therapy, counseling, or medical advice. Deep Impact, Inc. responsibly provides resources and referrals for participants who may need clinical diagnosis or treatment.
Make it stand out
-
The program specifically targets 9th-12th grade high school students residing in low-income areas. It's ideal for those quietly navigating common challenges like peer pressure, academic stress, social media anxiety, family difficulties, identity formation, or a general sense of overwhelm.
-
GENESIS directly addresses "silent suffering"—the internal burdens and struggles youth often keep to themselves. It teaches participants how to break free from these unexpressed challenges by applying the END SILENT SUFFERING method.
-
GENESIS is a structured, virtual program lasting 6 weeks. Participants work in teams, collaborating on meaningful projects that directly contribute to Deep Impact's health and wellness initiatives. It features daily stand-ups, focused work blocks, and peer review, fostering teamwork and professional skills alongside personal growth.
Starting Your Personal & School Journey
This foundational module introduces high school students to the concept of silent suffering – the hidden stresses and burdens they carry – and empowers them to recognize its impact. Participants learn the power of self-awareness and are guided to identify their personal narratives, ultimately taking their very first "exit step" towards acknowledging what they're truly feeling and beginning their healing journey.
Level Up Your Mind: Ditching Worry & Negative Thoughts
This module helps high school students recognize how pervasive overthinking and negative self-talk directly impact their confidence and school performance. It provides practical strategies for making powerful "mindset shifts" and "leveling up" their thoughts to foster a more positive and empowering internal dialogue.
Setting Your Game Rules: Boundaries for Life & Tech
We empower youth to establish personal "game rules" by teaching them how to identify and set healthy boundaries in various aspects of their lives, including with friends, family, their time, and especially with technology and social media. The focus is on practical ways to say "no" and use discernment to protect their personal energy and peace.
