Empowering teens, shaping futures!

Healing Not Hurting's 'Destined to Reign' curriculum is specifically designed for inner-city youth, acknowledging the unique challenges they face. Research indicates that these youth often lack examples of social-emotional learning (SEL) in their lives, and they frequently experience adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Furthermore, there is a strong correlation between emotional challenges and issues such as incarceration and social deviance. Aligned with CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) standards, this curriculum sets a new standard for empowering inner-city students across America, starting with Detroit.

Recognizing these realities, the 'Destined to Reign' curriculum aims to break the cycle by providing inner-city youth with the necessary SEL skills to overcome their challenges. By addressing emotional well-being, resilience, and personal growth, this curriculum has the potential to change the trajectory of their lives and brighten their future.

The program emphasizes the importance of self-love, wellness, and personal development, providing inner-city youth with the tools they need to navigate their emotions and make positive choices. By equipping them with essential life skills, such as anger management, conflict resolution, and financial literacy, 'Destined to Reign' empowers these youth to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

Furthermore, by fostering positive relationships and providing guidance, the curriculum ensures that inner-city youth are well-prepared for higher education and career opportunities. It aims to break the cycle of negative outcomes and inspire these young individuals to become leaders in their communities.

The 'Destined to Reign' curriculum can be implemented not only in schools and organizations as a proactive approach to promoting social-emotional learning, but also in juvenile facilities for youth returning to the community. By providing these youth with the necessary SEL skills and support, it has the potential to decrease the recidivism rate and promote positive reintegration into society.

By implementing the 'Destined to Reign' curriculum, Healing Not Hurting aims to create a significant impact on the lives of inner-city youth. By addressing the root causes of emotional challenges and providing the necessary support and resources, this curriculum has the potential to transform their future, breaking the cycle of adversity and empowering them to reach their full potential."
