100 GENTS is a Suspension Intervention and Reintegration Support Program (“SIRS”) Program developed by NextGen. This initiative provides targeted support to young male students between ages 8-11 who have been suspended from school. The program addresses the underlying causes of behavioral issues while ensuring academic continuity and promoting successful reintegration into the school environment.

Through a structured, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach, 100 GENTS prioritize five key areas:

• Behavior Intervention – Sessions on emotional intelligence, conflict resolution and responsible decision-making,
• Academic Support – Tutoring and structured time to complete missed assignments, keeping students on tract academically
• Mental and Emotional Wellness – Group therapy to build coping skills and emotional awareness
• Family Engagement – Regular meetings with families to discuss progress, challenges, and strategies for improvement
• Creative Enrichment – Engaging in activities that build social skills, self-awareness, and personal growth to include: drama, photography, music, karate, videography, poetry, art, basketball etc.

Once a young boy is identified as having challenges, NextGen creates a personalized, person-centered folder to guide his support. Our commitment extends beyond the suspension period—we continue working with him through the end of his current grade. As part of the 100 GENTS program, this approach goes beyond academics, focusing on the whole student and empowering young men to return to school stronger, more focused, and better prepared for lifelong success.

Leaving My Hiding Place (LMHP) is a program that deals with social anxiety in children.  Social anxiety disorder (sometimes called social phobia) is a problem for children and youth that makes them very anxious or worried in many everyday situations.  Studies show that about 1 in every 20 youth have this disorder.

What’s important to know is that anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States.

NextGen Empowerment Method (“nextGen”) understands the effect that social anxiety has on children. This cringing feeling will cause children to hide from the outside world and open doors for bullying when other children detect they are afraid. Some describe social anxiety as just “being shy.” Many children feel shy at one time or another; but social anxiety is more than just feeling shy sometimes. It is a form of anxiety that can get in the way of enjoying home and/or school. It can inhibit children from getting involved and make them feel anxious and worried in many everyday situations such as meeting new friends, responding in class, drinking, or eating in front of others, going somewhere new, trying new things, speaking in public, and other symptoms not mentioned here.

Nextgen staff will provide a safe and fun environment while using certain techniques to help your child face their fears and manage anxiety symptoms.

Our trained therapist will use play therapy, drama therapy and art therapy, virtual reality games, and other structured activities to your child(ren) learn to communicate better, change their behavior, develop problem-solving skills, and relate to others in positive ways.

If this is YOUR CHILD or you know of ANY CHILD that exhibits these symptoms, please do not hesitate to contact our office

YOU are a Queen, and your life is your Castle!!  The 8-week Program is designed to help you reflect, grow, and step into your power as a parent. Each weekly session will focus on a different part of your Castle; helping you build a solid foundation for your family and future.

The “Building of the Castle” represents constructing a strong foundation, setting boundaries (walls), nurturing relationships (rooms), and even self-worth (the throne or crown).

The idea is to help women see themselves as QUEENS building their kingdom—equipping them with tools to raise healthy, secure children from a place of confidence, structure, and love.

Each week represents a new phase in castle-building—symbolic of the emotional, mental, and practical structures needed for effective parenting.

The Session Titles Will Consist of the Following:

Laying the Foundation

Building the Wall

Creating the Gate and Drawbridge

Creating a Hearth (Castle Kitchen)

Developing the Armory

Creating the Throne Room

Finishing the Windows and Watchtowers

Finalizing the Garden

BONUS SESSIONS:

Each Queen Mother will be building an actual Castle representing therapeutic concepts to assist in making them Strong and Effective Moms.

Each QueenMother will be motivated to become a “ROYAL MOMS (moms who will share their wisdom after completing the Program).

**The Program will consist of a Graduation where each QueenMom gets to walk through the Castle.

Program Purpose:
Women in Labor (WIL) is a transformative support model designed to help women confront and overcome the emotional and psychological barriers that have kept them from moving forward. These barriers may stem from past wounds, broken relationships, misunderstandings, isolation, or other deeply rooted experiences.

Program Vision:
Many women carry dreams that remain unfulfilled—not because they lack potential, but because unresolved pain and life’s challenges have delayed their journey. WIL exists to help women rediscover those dreams and finally give themselves permission to birth the purpose that’s been waiting within.

Our Approach:
We believe that true healing begins with honesty, vulnerability, and community. Through guided conversations, reflective exercises, and shared experiences, WIL fosters a safe, interactive space where women can:

• Draw strength from one another’s stories

• Engage in authentic dialogue

• Develop a renewed sense of self-worth and purpose

• Embrace a theory of change rooted in openness and mutual empowerment

Program Outcomes:
The ultimate goal of WIL is to restore hope, promote healing, and empower each participant to live a purpose-filled life. By the end of the program, women will:

• See life’s challenges not as threats, but as opportunities

• Replace feelings of hopelessness with resilience and hope

• Begin to walk confidently in their healing and purpose
