What is WhyTry?
WhyTry is a flexible resilience toolkit that helps school social workers respond to immediate student challenges while proactively building the skills that prevent future problems.
Quick Intervention
Address an immediate challenge during a brief one-on-one conversation.
Enter the challenge a student is facing, and WhyTry quickly guides you to relevant tools, visuals, and questions for a focused intervention.
Small Groups
Guide students through shared challenges using structured visuals, discussions, and activities.
Use WhyTry with targeted groups to strengthen resilience, emotional regulation, decision-making, relationships, and problem-solving skills.
Preventive Curriculum
Teach resilience and life skills proactively before problems escalate.
Use WhyTry as a structured curriculum in a classroom, advisory period, or prevention program, with complete lessons, activities, videos, training, and implementation support.
See WhyTry in Action
Watch how WhyTry gives educators practical, visual tools they can use in brief one-on-one interventions, small groups, and classroom instruction.
10 WhyTry Learning Units
The WhyTry curriculum utilizes a series of
ten visual analogies that teach essential
life skills including:
- Decision-Making & Consequences
- Positive Self-Worth
- Emotional Regulation
- Resilient Thinking & Motivation
- Peer Influence and Relationships
- Problem-Solving
- Hard Work & Determination
- Responsibility & Expectations
- Support Systems &Relationships
- Future Vision & Self-Efficacy
The Power of Visual Metaphors
One of the most unique things about WhyTry is how we use visual metaphors to teach these important principles to students in a way they can understand and remember. The powerful thing about using this visual approach is the way it takes abstract concepts and puts them into a context through the use of a metaphor that students can understand. It essentially creates a language for educators to communicate the relevance of these things.
