Testimonials on Beecuz | Redefining Wellness

“Beecuz has developed a heartfelt and considerate program that respects the diverse needs of all students. Participating in this program, and hearing Lena’s story, was all that our students needed to allow them to dive deep within, sometimes share, but most importantly learn about who they are. Our students now have the tools they need to keep them strong during any future times of duress. Thanks Lena and the Beecuz team for creating a new paradigm of thinkers and for redefining wellness in a way that is accessible for all learners.”

“As a parent, I was grateful to hear that my school was recognizing the importance of mental health and wellbeing and that Beecuz was helping my daughter develop a toolbox of strategies that she can call upon when dealing with the inevitable stressors that coincide with growing up. For my daughter, and hundreds of other children, Beecuz has served as a catalyst for a lifetime of resilience, grit, joy, and a true sense of worthiness.”

‍Shawn Butler, Parent of Past Program Participant

“I thoroughly enjoyed the Beecuz program, as it has been an eye opening experience, giving me a unique perspective on mental health. It has expanded my mental health “toolbox” by providing me with useful techniques on maintaining mental well-being. Having seen some of my family members struggle with mental illnesses, Beecuz has also allowed me to become more comfortable talking about their struggles with my friends and family. Overall, the Beecuz program has made me more aware of the importance of maintaining good mental health. Beecuz was not simply an educational workshop, but rather a new way of life that I hope to implement and continue benefiting from throughout my life.”
