Empowering Young People One Story at a Time
Through animated and interactive storytelling, I’ve Got This!™ reaches young people where they are and helps them develop social and emotional learning skills for empowerment and connection. Our child experts incorporate 40 combined years of hands-on professional experience with the latest neuroscience-backed techniques, entertainingly infused into stories that generate laughter, enjoyment, and learning. And the best part, young people get to be the authors of their own stories, befriending their challenges and transforming them to experience a new, empowered way of life.
The Need
We created IGT knowing that kids are more disconnected than ever, have trouble self-regulating, and have little awareness of their internal mind-body-emotive experience. Over the past decade, the number of youth suffering from mental health disorders has more than doubled, with 80% or 12 million of them going untreated. Teens are facing an anxiety epidemic. Youth suicide attempts have quadrupled over the last six years and over 4 million young people in the United States have diagnosed anxiety. Contributing factors are technology and social media, lack of community, living in uncertain times, high expectations and pressure to succeed, and decreasing hours of sleep. Our young people need help more than ever, and IGT is designed to reach them.

How We Do It:
Entertaining & Interactive Stories
Meet Blue: Our Story Guide
Blue’s entertaining stories introduce young people to tools that help them work through a particular issue. Blue then directs the young viewers to create their own story of empowerment, applying the tools in a personal, meaningful way.
Each program includes:
-
A brief animated video demonstrating the SEL tools
-
An interactive video to guide students in filling out their personal storybook
-
A storybook pdf or printed copy for each participant
-
A parent partnership guide
-
“Blue Breaks”-a series of short recap videos to reinforce the SEL concepts and keep kids connected
Our stories incorporate social and emotional learning techniques backed by the latest research in neuroscience. We are mostly inspired by the empowering, evidenced-based therapy model, Internal Family Systems (IFS).
