Therapist-led mental health & life-skills education

Adversity is the end curriculum.

Adversity University turns hard seasons into teachable skills — emotional intelligence, resilience, goal-setting and accountability — for students, families, teams and the clinicians who serve them.

Led by Coty Martin, LPC NBCC Approved CE Provider · ACEP #7699 SEL-aligned curriculum

Three levels. Nine affirming stages. One habit of growth.

UYG gives people the language, tools and skills to apply in daily life — with goal-setting and accountability built into every week.

Level 1

Process Past

Name what happened, understand its impact, and reframe the story you carry forward.

Level 2

Manage Present

Build emotional regulation, positive thinking and healthy daily habits that hold under pressure.

Level 3

Focus Future

Set clear goals, practice accountability, and map the next chapter with confidence.
