Building Resilience Across the Nation:
Empowering Communities, One Child at a Time
Join Team STRONG: A National Initiative to Foster Resilient Youth, Families, and Communities
Resilience has never been more critical. With challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, climate crises, and a growing mental health crisis, it’s time for bold solutions. Team STRONG brings together two transformative programs—Becoming Your Personal Best (BYPB) and the Greater Resilience Information Toolkit (GRIT)—to create a national network of resilient children, families, and communities.
Comprehensive Resilience Programs
Becoming Your Personal Best (BYPB): A social-emotional learning program that equips youth (grades 4-12) with essential life skills through the inspiring stories of Olympians and Paralympians.
Greater Resilience Information Toolkit (GRIT): A community-based program that trains individuals to become resilience coaches, empowering them to support their circles of influence.
Nationwide Impact
Targeting millions of children, families, and community members across the U.S.
Programs designed to be scalable, with the potential to reach every corner of the nation.
Evidence-Based Approach
Both programs are rooted in scientific research and proven to reduce stress, depression, and enhance well-being.
Focus on measurable outcomes and continuous evaluation to ensure effectiveness.
Collaborative Effort
A unique partnership between the United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum and the Lyda Hill Institute for Human Resilience at UCCS.
Synergistic integration of BYPB and GRIT to maximize impact at the individual, family, and community levels.
