Kidpower of Colorado has trained thousands of young people and their adults in partnership with hundreds of schools and agencies in Colorado. Our students report feeling much more confident and prepared after participation in a workshop. We have many reports of students who have used Kidpower skills to keep themselves physically and emotionally safe. Kidpower is an evidence-based program. We are always happy to provide references from graduate families and school and agency administrators.
We have collected many profound success stories over the years. Here is an example:
Jason (name changed for privacy) is a 11-year old boy who, along with his parents, took our Kidpower Weekend Family Workshop. His parents enrolled him in class because he was routinely bullied by his peers, was missing many days of school, and his usually good grades were slipping. He felt uncomfortable talking about the situation with his parents or school, and this kind and thoughtful young man was feeling hopeless about his situation. After the workshop, his parents told us that the shift in Jason was dramatic and the school reported that Jason looked like he was an entirely different person. He was walking, talking and interacting with a confidence and assurance that was striking and the bullying incidents stopped.
