What Is Powerful You?
Powerful You is a proactive, grab-and-go social-emotional learning program created by school counselor and yoga educator Julie Frizzi. It provides ready-to-use tools that support children—and the adults who guide them—through breathing, stretching, storytelling, role-playing, and reflection.
The twenty-six Powerful You kids inspire meaningful conversations about emotional awareness, positive self-talk, relationships, and problem-solving. Together, these practical activities help children regulate emotions, build confidence, strengthen connections, and feel ready to learn and grow.
Simple tools. Meaningful conversations. Skills children can use for life.
Aligned with the CASEL 5 and designed for practical, everyday use.
The Powerful You Elementary Counselor Kit was created to keep your favorite Powerful You tools together in one easy-to-carry bag so you are always ready to support students.
Perfect for School counselors, educators, interventionists, and student support teams.
