How I Help:
I’m Marissa Valenzuela, a certified iheart Youth Resilience Facilitator. I lead 12-week workshops for youth ages 9 to 15 that deepen their understanding of how the mind works while building key skills in emotional regulation, empathy, stress management, and resilience.

“We spend a lifetime pulling people out of the river—no one goes upstream to prevent them from falling in.”
- Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Why Choose the iheart Program?
As a society we want to set the stage for our youth by building a strong foundation early on in life that helps them navigate difficult experiences as they happen. Too often, traditional mental health support arrives only after challenges have already taken root and gained momentum. The iheart Program serves as preventative education, equipping young people with the tools and the armor they need before difficulties arise.

Who is iheart?
iheart (Innate Health Education and Resilience Training) is a UK-based non-profit that delivers an evidence-based program in schools and communities worldwide. Its curriculum helps young people gain insight and understand that despite their environment and circumstances- they can find inner peace, clarity, and wisdom inside.
