THRIVE

Discover how to THRIVE.

Now, more than ever, it’s time for effective wellness education.

THRIVE is a comprehensive curriculum that organizes and teaches both the classic and contemporary evidence-based strategies for life-satisfaction and overcoming challenges. Developed by a summa cum laude clinical mental health graduate of Johns Hopkins University and licensed professional counselor, THRIVE teaches practical well-being skills
in six key areas: how to manage Thoughts, maintain physical Health, engage in healthy Relationships, make a positive Impact, pursue a worthwhile Vision goal, and regulate unproductive Emotions. The program also explains how each component is necessary to work together to evoke individual and collective well-being. THRIVE supports any individual and organization in equipping people with proactive, preventative, and practical health and wellness skills for success. With today’s inundation of questionable wellness tips surrounding people drowning under unparalleled stressors, THRIVE provides a
proven-effective approach to generating well-being and preventing health crises. Learn More.

Recognized by NASPA and
U.S. News & World Report

U.S. News & World Report 2019 Best Colleges Guidebook: “A number of schools offer the THRIVE program developed by Philadelphia-area therapist Christie Versagli to teach students evidence-based skills for increasing their well-being and life satisfaction. The program, which delves into how to manage thoughts, health, relationships, impact, vision, and emotions, has been presented by Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Hamilton, and Franklin and Marshall in Pennsylvania. According to Terry Martinez, vice president and dean of students at Hamilton, undergrads have praised THRIVE for equipping them with insights and skills that help them feel fulfilled, empowered and prepared to deal with daily challenges.”

THRIVE was presented by invitation at the 100th annual NASPA conference in 2018.

"The response to the THRIVE program from students, staff, and parents was exceedingly positive. The timing is right for THRIVE to be adopted on campuses as a preventative approach to addressing the nationwide mental health issues facing our students.“

"THRIVE is distinguished from other wellness programs by the way it recognizes how well-being cannot be achieved alone. It provides both the practical tools to take control of one's own wellness with the uplifting community environment to experience it.”
