PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Edge is a high-impact, interactive training program designed and led by Brent Seal, specifically for high school students wanting to get The Edge over stress and the demands of our modern, chaotic world. The program structure has been designed in collaboration with current high school students through in person meetings, online surveys and feedback from a pilot program run in two high schools. The 5 week program is meant to empower students with simple, yet effective strategies to manage the stress of the new hyper-connected, hyper-competitive world and break through to the next level of performance in academics and life. The program will cover a variety of topics related to mental health awareness, mental wellness, stress management, self-confidence, support systems and other areas related to wellness and high performance.

Also, the view on mental wellness is unique and GREAT!" - Student "The videos contain a lot of very valuable information that we do not usually talk about or even think about, I think this program is good for schools because the new information really gets kids thinking about this subject. I definitely have found it valuable." - Student Quotes From Previous Trainings: "It was such a wonderful and eye-opening experience to hear about your success story.
