Who is GoZen! for?

Teachers, school counselors, and social workers all love using GoZen! programs and printables.

Would you be a good candidate for our programs? Ask yourself the following questions:

Are you working with kids struggling with anxiety, anger, negative thoughts and other issues that create roadblocks with their academic learning?

Do you want an effective way to help students feel more comfortable about discussing their anxious thoughts and help to normalize their feelings?

Are you “surfing” the internet trying to find creative downloadable materials (worksheets, journals, activity kits, etc.) teaching ways to motivate, relieve stress or be more mindful?

Are you looking for SEL or anxiety resources that are “turn key” and save you valuable time?

Do you need life skill lessons that are interesting, engaging, fun and will totally resonate with your students?

Are you trying to find resources that provide ways to reach all three tier levels or meet your IEP goals?

If you answered YES to one or more of the above, then GoZen! programs would be a great resource for you to begin using!

“GoZen! is talking their talk.”

Animation speaks to kids! Therapists overtalk and kids tune out because they cannot relate. Kids like to learn by watching since they grew up looking at screens. GoZen! is talking their talk.

Also, I really like that it is an empirically tested product with all the needed research behind it - it is viable, reliable, and proven to work.

What do the programs teach?

Here are just some of the SEL skills kids learn across these programs:

Resilient thoughts:  Learn to catch, check, collect, challenge, and change worrisome, negative, or looping thoughts.

Mindfulness: Discover how to go from asking constant "What if" questions to coming back to "What is" going on in the present moment.

Anxiety relief: Master research-based skills to thwart general anxiety, stress, test anxiety, and perfectionist tendencies.

Emotional Intelligence: Dive into their inner world to expand self-awareness of emotions, what they mean, and how to navigate them.

Strengths: Identify and apply their character strengths across domains of their life.

Panic relief: Take adventures to uncover the research-based secrets behind ending panic attacks.

Impulse Control: Embrace many methodologies to pause before they react to a trigger or event.

Self-compassion: See and practice techniques of speaking to themselves as they would a friend.

Optimism: Unravel the research-based techniques to practice realistic optimism.

Conquering OCD: Learn the secrets behind breaking the OCD cycle (for kids experiencing OCD).

What makes GoZen! different?

Kids and teens WANT to use GoZen!

You know how incredibly difficult it can be to engage a child or teen, especially when dealing with research-based concepts. Even older children can quickly get bored or distracted, secretly wanting to pull out their screens and escape.

That’s why at GoZen!, we’ve built our resilience programs from the ground up using original animations and peer-led videos that your students will WANT to watch!

Working with a child or teen who likes animated shows and movies?

Hop into one of GoZen!’s award-winning animated programs. You’ll see original animations and relatable characters that help your student gain the tools they need to navigate challenges with confidence.

Working with a tween or teen?

Dive into one of 33 bite-sized live-action courses. These courses are created for teens by teens, so your student can easily relate to the speaker on their screen.

“The GoZen! videos have helped engage even some of my more challenging students.”

I am always looking for ways to grab students’ attention and find meaningful ways to explain key therapeutic concepts. The GoZen! videos have helped engage even some of my more challenging students. The humor and relatability of the characters help children feel more at ease and ready to discuss their experiences.

I have used this program with both elementary and middle school. It provides a comprehensive understanding of anxiety and strategies to manage this uncomfortable emotion. It provides a complete curriculum, but I have also used segments to augment my own lessons. It has been a great addition to my groups and a powerful tool in my arsenal.

Wondering why we took on the task of making SEL fun? Let me introduce myself:

Hi, I’m Renee Jain. I’m the founder and Chief Storyteller at GoZen!

I’m a mom of two beautiful, wildly curious kids who constantly challenge me in the best possible ways.

Renee Jain

As a kid, I desperately wanted to know how to stop worrying.

“What if a robber breaks into the house?”
“What if I have to give a speech?”
“What if I fail the test?”
“What if [insert worry]?”

I went through my life worrying like this until, at the ripe age of 24, I had a massive heart attack.

(Well, that’s what I thought was happening.)

In reality, I had an overwhelming panic attack that left me lying on the bathroom floor of my office. I decided it was time to find a therapist—that decision changed my life.

Fast forward through:

  • Coaching certifications
  • A Masters in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania
  • A New York Times Bestselling Book on Resilience
  • Direct work with many parents, educators, therapists, and children

… and here we are.

I founded GoZen! to help the next generation of kids, parents, educators, and therapists.

Everything we do at GoZen! follows the principle that emotional well-being can be cultivated through practice.

We believe feeling good is a skill!

Most importantly, we believe know that when kids and teens find it fun to learn the emotional well-being skills they need most, incredible things happen.

“I have found GoZen! to be informed by empirical research, accessible to both children and adults, engaging and interesting, and, most importantly, effective.”

As a parent of children who struggle with anxiety and a mental health clinician working with many clients who also struggle with anxiety, I have found GoZen! to be informed by empirical research, accessible to both children and adults, engaging and interesting and most importantly, effective.

This is the first program that has provided tools my children readily understand and use on their own. The creators of GoZen! brilliantly combine likable, amusing characters whose struggles validate the experiences of many children, with the latest in brain science research on effective anxiety treatment.

“The best, most engaging, and most comprehensive SEL program I have found.”

I just wanted to reach out and say that your programs and methods resonate more with me and my professional practices than any other program. I have worked as a school social worker for the last three years and GoZen! is the best, most engaging, and most comprehensive SEL program I have found after months of research!

Finding a program that covered all areas of social emotional learning as laid out by the collaborative for academic and social and emotional learning proved very difficult. GoZen! does it in a kid friendly and research based way!

“I love your program because it is curriculum based and has online animations that are relatable to my students.”

I teach small special education classes to 6th grade boys and I love your program because it is curriculum based and has online animations that are relatable to my students. You provide interactive games that are so much more effective than teaching from a workbook.

My kids are smart, but can get frustrated and angry very easily. Your program provides the structure and multiple animation scenarios to keep them engaged and interested.

How will GoZen! fit into the work you already do?

Supplement your own guidance with animations and videos to boost learning.

GoZen! Programs being used in classrooms

GoZen! in classrooms

Many educators blend programs into their curriculum once per week for 15-25 minutes. Because you can show entire modules or single animations, GoZen! flexibly fits your needs.

How do you engage the class in the animations? Easy, just push play. Leave the rest up to us.

GoZen! in solo sessions

Trying to teach a student about the flight-or-fight response to stress? Want to engage them in a deep breathing exercise? Supplement a counseling or therapy session with videos!

Handpick several animations in advance, or go through our animated programs module by module with kids in your office.

“I have already implemented many of the ideas into my weekly classroom lessons.”

I first want to say thank you for creating this amazing resource for kids! I am an elementary counselor, grades k-4 and work with over 650 students and encounter anxiety every day, in one form or another. I have been looking for resources for kids and parents and hadn't loved anything until I read your articles and watched your masterclass. I am IN LOVE with your ideas and action steps.

I have already implemented many of the ideas into my weekly classroom lessons. I went into the field of counseling, specifically school counseling because I wanted to make a difference and provide kids with the toolbox that I was not given. I am so passionate about your work and can not wait to watch more masterclasses and learn more. You are making such a difference in the lives of so many children and are an invaluable resource. You rock!! Thank you for taking the time to care about others and use your superpowers for good.

Have a wonderful day and keep up the AWESOME work!!

Elementary School Counselor

“I've rarely seen him so engaged.”

I am an elementary school social worker in Chicago. I am a big fan of GoZen, and my students and I especially love the choose-your-own adventure style of Mindful Maneesha. One of my students was so disappointed when we finished the Mindful Maneesha episodes, and he suggested making his own episode so that it didn't have to end.

This is a 4th grader who is one of the highest behavior needs in our school (often displays disruptive, attention-seeking, impulsive behavior). Working on this project is the most patient, focused and regulated I have seen him. I've rarely seen him so engaged and able to sustain attention over such a prolonged period of time.

A message from the student: "We made this because we were inspired by Mindful Maneesha. I like Mindful Maneesha because I learned how to stay calm. I also like the art."

Thank you for the resources you've created on GoZen - I love using them in my work with kids.
