THE GOAL
CREATING EMOTIONALLY SAFE HOMES, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITIES FOR CHILDREN.
Every child has the right to grow up and be educated in an emotionally safe environment.
Stone Soup is a comprehensive strategic plan for building and restoring strong, happy, and healthy homes, schools, and communities on seven essential elements that are required for emotional safety.
Emotional Safety is required for people to move out of the RED ZONE of survival instinct into the GREEN ZONE of optimal potential.
EMOTIONAL SAFETY EDUCATION FOR HAPPY, HEALTHY HOMES, SCHOOLS & COMMUNITIES
COMMUNITY RECLAMATION PROJECT
OPERATION
The U.S. averages one school shooting per week!
One in four youth seriously consider suicide, one in six have a suicide plan, and two million attempt it every year. That's more than all the students in the states of WA, OR, ID, and HI combined, every, single year. Suicide and homicide are now the 2nd and 3rd leading causes of death among children as young as 10-years old! Nothing has worked against this overwhelming force—until now!
GRANT PER SCHOOL, IN TRAINING AND RESOURCES FOR EMOTIONAL SAFETY EDUCATION
$50,000
We have answers to help eradicate the root causes behind some of our nation's toughest youth issues through a comprehensive, K-Adult, community-wide approach. It works and we have 30 years of success stories to prove it, but we can't get these life-saving tools to our schools fast enough. With 5,000 youth suicides attempts each day, and campus violence intensifying, time is measured in the lives of precious children.
When communities unite to bring Emotional Safety Education (ESE) to their children, they also develop Emotional Safety within the community itself. The same principles that create emotionally safe campuses, also create emotionally safe homes, businesses, and community culture. That's why the ESE Grant includes community-wide organizations and agencies.
No one person can solve this problem alone, but together, we can help Idaho's schools achieve emotional safety and lead the nation in emotional safety education. Please consider the following Emotional Safety Education Strategic Plan. I'd love to meet with you to discuss it further.

PROOF OF CONCEPT
​
The proof of concept is in the program itself. Championeers! is the result of 30-years of research and development and thousands of at-risk students who taught us what worked and what didn't. Many of these students became interns who helped lead or create the programs. Most came from Title I schools and did fundraisers or donated their tithes from babysitting and fieldwork to put on camps for the children in their communities! All became leaders in their schools. Some have stayed with us for years, completing their credentials for our latest project—launching a college where they will be the professors who teach their students to dream! (You gotta just love that!)
In addition, the original school I started this program in, with a violent environment and 50% dropout rate, has maintained its "new" campus culture since 1990. They went on to spearhead a project with the EPA that protected their entire town... that's quite an improvement from students who cut teacher brake lines for fun— in the mountains, played Russian Roulette as their favorite passtime, and set the school on fire while we were all still in it! Transformation began the moment we accidently stumbled on our first tool.
We didn't set out to develop a system, we developed people and in the process discovered when you provide seven essential elements people become emotionally safe, and when they are emotionally safe they tap into the limitless potential of who they really are.
We can do this in as little as 5 minutes a day and with our signature Click-Classes we teach if for you so no teacher prep is required. We've simplified these incredibly complex concepts so even the students can lead it.

HIGH
SCHOOLS
$50,000 GRANT PER SCHOOL
IN TRAINING AND RESOURCES FOR EMOTIONAL SAFETY EDUCATION AND CAMPUS CULTURE DEVELOPMENT
The power behind the ESE System is our prevention, intervention, and emotional triage implementation. We go after the root causes of the issues while simultaneously addressing the symptoms. The high school ESE system includes an immediate action assembly with a 30-Day Limitless Challenge delivered directly to students through SMS Messaging. This is followed up with The Limitless Life-Map, an online or on-campus class that guides students through a process of discovering their greater "YES." It incorporates all seven of the essential elements required for emotional safety and incorporates peer mentorship based on friendship. We encourage schools to award credits for the completion of the online courses as an incentive to participate.

BUSINESS
SEED GRANTS & CORPORATE CULTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Chamber of Commerce and businesses partner to donate Seed Grants for student leadership packs. The ESE System is self-funding once it is implemented, turning your one-time donation into a lifetime gift.
Strategic tools are available for businesses to incorporate ESE, ethics and efficiency training with their employees.
CIVIC & POLICE
A CULTURE OF HEROISM
Three of the Seven Essential Elements required for Emotional Safety are a Culture of Leadership, a Culture of Honor, and a Culture of Heroism. To promote intentional community and town heroism we provide an ESE Grant for civil servants, law enforcers, and first responders to understand critical youth issues and how to help fix them. We also coordinate with representatives of these organizations to present the ESE Grant to their local schools! Can you imagine an assembly of children receiving a $50,000 giant grant certificate and all their student leadership packs delivered by their mayor and police officers! Kids go NUTS and guess who gets all the credit? They do, by strategic design, to establish ES in the school and reverence for authority. Leaders are instantly honored and gain a respected platform to lead the children in your community. Kids love it, and you will too.
​
CHURCH
& COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
Education takes place through many venues; school, home, church, and social organizations. ESE should be integrated into all of them. Churches provide religious instruction as well as first tier support, aid, and comfort, for our community's citizens. To help support this important role, we extend the ESE Grant to churches along with optional resources designed specifically for family education.
