Sarah was hit hard by her parents' divorce. The fact they broke the news to her just as she was getting ready to leave home for college didn't help matters.
"Our divorce was devastating for all our kids," says Sarah's mom, Trina, "but the timing was really awful for Sarah."
Seeing how much Sarah was struggling during this highly emotional time, her tutor, Corinne, recommended Thrive Research's PeakPerformance. The program promotes positive thinking, feelings, and emotions, and creates a balanced mindset of mental and physical health.
"I meet with Sarah once a week for academic coaching," says Corinne. "Thrive's programs offer kids a way to boost their academics, yet I saw an opportunity to help Sarah in other ways. Providing her with coping skills, and just letting her know that other people were going through similar traumatic events, really seemed important."
"I'd never heard of Thrive," says Trina. "But I trust Corinne, and so does Sarah. It seems like a good idea."
Thrive designs its programs based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: a psychotherapeutic approach that aims to educate students about critical issues and prevent or solve problems concerning emotions, behaviors, and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure. This therapy is based upon a combination of basic behavioral and cognitive research. With Thrive's interactive, online programs, teens and young adults learn skills that can improve their lives both now and in the future.
"There are no easy answers for what Sarah is going through," says Corinne. "These sessions are definitely a step in the right direction for her."
