Testimonials
“The curriculum IS AWESOME. It’s so easy to use, totally plug and play. It also gives opportunities to use my own words while also providing guidance.”
Upstream Fellow
“The only thing I hear [when I get stressed] is ‘Study and you’ll be fine,’ but I haven’t had any strategies to help with stress other than just study. I am so appreciative of Tessa’s program and having experienced Upstream Education’s tools.”
Student, North High School
“I have students who have anxiety issues and have told me how they are using Upstream’s tools in other classes before high-stress events like tests. That’s a true sign it’s working!”
