Center for Sustainable Change

Our mission is to transform the lives of children, youth, and young adults in distress. To accomplish this mission we focus on those who directly interact with young people -- parents, caregivers and professionals -- and share with them the transformative power of understanding the Principles of Innate Resilience -- the Three Principles.We teach parents, caregivers, educators, youth-service workers, social workers, juvenile corrections workers, military veteran services coordinators and youth-focused organizations how to engage innate resilience -- the human capacity for learning, creativity, compassion, common sense and well-being -- in the youth they teach and care for, and -- perhaps more importantly -- in themselves, enabling them to serve as wise and loving role models for the children, youth and young adults in their care. The Centers work is built on nearly three decades of successfully applying a Principles-based, innate-health psychology in at-risk communities and schools acro
