The Amped Music Academy is the organization’s founding program. It empowers youth to work as a team, learn how to express themselves effectively, and develop into healthy, productive members of our community and the world.
This best practice guide has been created for the purpose of expanding the outlook and offerings of social and emotional health assessment and interventions within youth serving organizations. Social and emotional well-being (SEWB) assessments can help with early identification of mental health or emotional challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or social isolation. Addressing these issues early can prevent more serious problems down the road and support healthier emotional development. The building of emotional intelligence can also help young people become more aware of their own emotions and those of others, fostering emotional intelligence, empathy, and strong interpersonal skills.
Support for this case study came from the Humana Foundation. Additionally, Amped celebrates the 2024 grant award from the Humana Foundation to further expand upon the assessment initiated through this pilot project. Check out the award announcement!
