About us

We are here to help parents raise happy and healthy children

children playing CREATE basketball mental health games

Our programs focus on play-based nervous system education:

Whether it’s through basketball or yoga, our programs educate children and families how the body physiologically reacts to emotions and ways we can use the body to better cope with them.

Our basketball programs are aimed at improving health equity amongst the general population and can be found in public school P.E. classes, basketball clinics or aftercare programs.

Our Yoga programs are aimed at improving health outcomes amongst girls at-risk for self harm and eating disorders. They can be found in after school clubs and in our private working groups.

 

Coming in 2025

What parent say:
mother and child
I'm so grateful for how much I learned about my feelings and body. Before I didn't know how much what I felt was signs of stress or anxiety. Now when it's happening I notice it and remember to start practicing one of the coping skills I learned. That alone has been so big for me.
