What Can I Expect in the Sessions?

In collaboration with Upstream Growth Consultants, Empower Up provides cognitive behavioral and emotional intelligence training that guides participants through a process that empowers them to take control of their lives, relationships, and state-of-mind; today and every day. This transformative process teaches them to identify the thoughts and behaviors that have led to negative outcomes and how to develop new thinking habits that will create positive ones.

To fulfill our mission of creating a nurturing and stable home, Empower Up provides participants tools to:

·        Clearly see how current thinking affects their lives

·        Control how they think and feel and behave

         & influence the outcomes in their lives.

·        Communicate effectively

·        Prevent others from pushing their buttons

·        Become assertive

·        Manage emotions such as anger, stress, anxiety

·        Break generational cycles and overcome trauma

·        Improve relationships in their lives

·        Become more self-aware, self-disciplined

         & other aware

·        Increase emotional intelligence

·        Live life. Not survive it.

Testimonial:

“The Down Home Empower Up program changed my life with helping me start over in life and find a better frame of mind. Down Home helped me with things I didn’t have when I lost everything and had to start all over. I will never forget the Down Home experience. I am proud to call Down Home family.”                                       - Wendy, Empower Up Program Summer 2018
