Historically, students in the Resilient Youth program have achieved better control over their impulses, management of their negative emotions, and development of their empathy and compassion for others. The Resilient Youth program is an evidence-based curriculum developed 25 years ago by researchers from Harvard Medical School and clinicians from the Child Resiliency Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Benson-Henry Institute. Klisiewicz discovered the program five years ago and is currently the only certified Resilient Youth trainer in the state of Illinois. "By learning resiliency skills, students increase self-awareness, manage their stress, and consequently, raise their overall performance in school and life."

"Today's youth face more stress and emotional challenges than ever before and deserve to have the skills and knowledge they need to thrive," said Tom Klisiewicz, founder and president of Smart HWP. The program is made possible through the United Way of Will County, which received $884,000 in funding in February for a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration initiative from the Congressional Directive Spending Project Services Administration of Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL).
