MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Giving kids the skills to stay positive and resilient is the goal of a Milwaukee nonprofit, STRYV365.
Now, a partnership with the Medical College of Wisconsin allowed them to research their own trauma-informed coaching programs at Milwaukee schools.
"We found that these programs really make a big difference in their lives, with self-awareness, coping skills, building resiliency," said Dr.John Meurer, Prof. of Community Health and General Pediatrics with the Medical College of Wisconsin.
The research project's leaders presented their results of a five-year study today.
One focus was on STRYV365's video game, called "Brain Agents."
"The idea is that you're working to create positive energy and positive opportunities to free other members on a spaceship, and as you collect this positive energy, you're going through different obstacles, different challenges similar to life," said STRYV365 President and CEO Brandon Currie.
Program leaders say it helps kids self-regulate their emotions and solve problems. This research helps the Medical College of Wisconsin find root causes of health disparities and reduce long term effects of trauma with better care.
