Our Mission

Led by Shelia Finney, Change Mindsetz helps youth recognize that violence is preventable, teaches constructive ways to express anger, supports building self-control skills, promotes healthy respectful relationships, and encourages safety for women and children.

Objectives

  1. Help youth recognize that violence is preventable. We teach awareness, alternatives, and practical safety skills.
  2. Teach constructive ways to express anger and strong emotions. Practical techniques to channel emotions in healthy, productive ways.
  3. Build self-control skills. Short exercises and routines that strengthen impulse control and decision-making.
  4. Promote healthy, respectful relationships and discourage bullying. Communication, boundary-setting, and accountability skills that reduce harm.
  5. Help youth recognize healthy versus unhealthy relationships. Includes domestic violence awareness and prevention education.
  6. Support safe, respectful interactions with law enforcement. Guidance on communication, staying calm, and making safe choices during encounters.

We work with schools, youth organizations, and community partners. If you'd like to bring a program to your students or staff, contact Shelia.
