How Does Empowerteen Work With Professionals?

A Holistic Approach to Supporting Teens and Tweens

As a healthcare professional, you know that our world faces both health and social crises that often find their beginnings early in life. Our programs utilize the best knowledge available in integrative healthcare, including biology, biochemistry, neurology, endocrinology, anatomy, physiology, psychology, and sociology. Founder Dr. Paula Pilcher’s data indicates that Empowerteen’s participants leave their teen years as happier, better-adjusted contributors to themselves and the world around them.

Empowerteen’s programs can be an effective complement to several therapies aimed at building relatedness, resilience, and confidence in young people.

Does Empowerteen Work?

We wanted to know the facts too.
To find results, participants complete two Likert-scale questionnaires regarding ‘self-esteem’ and ‘body image’ at the beginning of a series, semester class curriculum, or retreat, and then again on the last day.

Dr. Paula now has 12 years of data from over 1,000 teen/tween participants showing improvement in scores for both questionnaires, as well as open question handwritten feedback from the participants on the anecdotal effects they’ve personally noticed in their lives.

We also provide post-event questionnaires to Empowerteen participants with two questions:
  1. How they felt about attending the program on the first day
  2. How they felt about it on the last day.
A “1” meant they didn’t want to be there at all, and “10” meant they were really excited to be there. On average, scores for day 1 were 3, and on the last day, scores averaged 9. The participants who wrote in “11’s” and “100’s” and then circled them were entered into the average calculation as a “10” score.
