Brighter Futures Initiative - The LEO Program
The LEO Program is a state-approved interactive resilience building program for youth ages 14-20 in Wood County, WI.
LEO stands for Learn & Empower Oneself. The mission of The LEO Program is to empower youth to understand their unique brains and quickly
improve resilience, adaptability, and fearlessness in a rapidly changing world. Resilience is the ability to bounce back during challenging
circumstances. Resilience helps individuals recover from setbacks, adapt well to change and keep going in the face of adversity. In 8 hours
of interactive curriculum, LEO explores how the human brain works and why our brain is not prepared for the challenges of today’s world. Our
lower brain, also known as the survival brain, dominates our day to day life.
