The LEO Program is state approved program available to all youth ages 12-20 in Adams County, WI. LEO stands for Learn & Empower Oneself.

LEO empowers youth with practical tools to understand their brains and quickly improve resilience, adaptability, and fearlessness in a rapidly changing world. The LEO Program is a state-approved interactive resilience building program for youth ages 14-20 in Adams County, WI. The mission of The LEO Program is to empower youth to understand their unique brains and quickly improve resilience, adaptability, and fearlessness in a rapidly changing world. Resilience is the ability to bounce back during challenging circumstances. Resilience helps individuals recover from setbacks, adapt well to change and keep going in the face of adversity. LEO explores how the human brain works and why our brain is not prepared for the challenges of today’s world. Our lower brain, also known as the survival brain, dominants our day to day life. LEO challenges participants to use different tools and strategies like mindfulness, breathing, gratitude, and more to rewire their brains. By rewiring their brains, they are able to demonstrate improved leadership, creative problem solving, stress management, and become resilient. The LEO Program is funded through the Brighter Futures Initiative Grant through the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families. LEO is operated by professional staff from CW Solutions in partnership with Adams County Human Services. Program curriculum is adapted from the Life Ecology Organization, founded by Dr. Niraj Nijhawan. LEO began operating in Wood County in January 2019.

Emotions communicate a need. They are the messengers not enemies. They help us to understand what we need.

Starting today let’s Pause, Listen, and Ask - what are our emotions trying to tell us?

If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out to 988.

Affirmations can start as words that we tell ourselves, but with repetition they can become beliefs that shape how we think, how we see ourselves, and how we see the world. They help us to stay in our higher brain.

Speak to yourself with hope – the words you repeat today can influence the mindset you have for tomorrow.

This school year don’t let the uncertainty, nerves, or all the questions keep you from trying new things. Believe in your ability. Believe in your worth.

Don’t let fear keep you from becoming who you were meant to be.

Going back to school is stressful – we may not know how to react when our lower brain is activating

Using the LEO tool STOP – you choose to respond using our higher brain instead of letting the moment choose for you

09/21/2026

YOU have worth, even in those moments you can’t feel it. Reaching out for help – isn’t a weakness, it’s an act of self-worth.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, call or text 988. You don’t have to face these moments alone. You are WORTH it.
