More Information About WhyTry
What Is the WhyTry Program?
The WhyTry Program is a flexible toolkit and curriculum designed for K–12 educators, counselors, and support staff.
It provides practical, hands-on strategies to:
- Motivate disengaged students
- Support students impacted by trauma
- Improve behavior and engagement
- Increase academic success
At its core, WhyTry is built on a simple idea:
Teach resilience and life skills in a way students can understand, apply, and remember.

10 WhyTry Learning Units
The WhyTry curriculum is built around ten powerful visual analogies that teach essential life skills, including:
- Decision-making
- Positive self-esteem
- Emotional regulation
- Having a resilient mindset
- Peer influence & relationships
- Problem-solving
- Hard work & Determination
- Responsibility and expectations
- Relationship building
- Self-efficacy
Why Visual Metaphors Work
One of the most unique aspects of WhyTry is our use of visual metaphors.
These metaphors:
- Turn abstract concepts into something concrete
- Help students see and remember key ideas
- Create a shared language between educators and students
This approach makes it easier to have meaningful conversations and helps students apply what they’ve learned in real-life situations.
