The Program
Brief, welcoming activities designed to encourage reflection, connection, creativity, and strengths recognition.
Positive Message Exchange
Participants create a brief positive, encouraging, or appreciative message. Messages are collected and redistributed so participants receive one created by someone else.
Completion, time to complete, willingness to exchange, and perceived meaningfulness.
Collaborative Positive Story
A facilitator provides a neutral opening prompt. Participants contribute to a shared story and are encouraged toward constructive, hopeful, or problem-solving directions without being asked to disclose personal trauma.
Participation, contributions, completion, enjoyment, and group interaction.
Build Yourself Up
Participants use paper “bricks” to record or draw strengths, accomplishments, supportive relationships, or future goals. Private responses remain an option.
Completion, response type, engagement time, and perceived meaningfulness.
