About PIE
The New Paradigm in Youth Mental Wellness
Post high school success must be driven by personal passion, not the pursuit of money, prestigious degrees, or the values of parents and society. When these pursuits preside over personal passion, stress and mental illness are certain outcomes. Most of us want to see an end to the youth mental health crisis, but are waiting for a solution from government programs, mental health institutions, or external programs.
They do not understand the institution must be internal — one child and one family at a time. True change requires that we all take a little responsibility and play our part.
PIE Mentoring is based on students identifying, embracing, and developing their true “self”. We help students, with the support of parents, schools, and society become their purest, stress-free, and best self.

Compulsory education began 1642. In 1902, While logical in the early 1900s, there was no consideration for the impact on mental health. Since youth mental health tracking began in 1994, the rates have increased and been attributed to everything from genetics and poverty to the impact and lasting effects of Covid-19 and social media.
During the industrial revolution and early 1900, when Rockefeller funded the General Education Board to improve schools train a compliant workforce for his factories, the societal priority was survival. Getting a job to secure food and shelter were by far the most important values among US families. In today’s society, where 79.8% of US households have at least one employed member, survival is taken far more for granted. This has allowed the emergence of materialism and wealth generation as key priorities. This increasingly competitive spirit to acquire more wealth and status has created a larger continuum between who we are and who we pretend/strive to be. Along this continuum lives stress, which sometimes leads to mental illness.
By shifting the priority to personal passion, the PIE paradigm promotes people, particularly youth, living as their true selves.
