Testimonials
"Our students have a safe space to ask hard questions, learn about healthy relationships, and address the complex issues that are impacting their generation [through the Empowered program]. The staff from Obria has been incredibly easy to work with and they are great with our students. As a school leader and the parent of a student currently in the Empowered program, I am confident that the time spent in these sessions will change the lives of some of our youth."
Rachel Ernst
Former Principal of LCA
"Our students at LCA have gained so much from the [Empowered] lessons. They feel more comfortable talking about difficult, yet important, topics with trusted adults. The educators have done an incredible job making our students feel safe and heard. As a parent of students and school counselor, I’m grateful for the education our students are getting from the empowerment program!
