See what students, educators, and organizations across the U.S. are saying about iEmpathize training and prevention resources.

Inspires us to respond out of passion and hope rather than pity and helplessness

“I have been inspired by the creativity that has emerged from a desire to preserve the dignity of humanity and still tell a compelling story. To use artifacts that tell a story takes the viewer out of the usual and expected response of visuals of sad and pitied faces into a broader and more diverse way of showing important issues. This methodology inspires us to respond out of passion and hope rather than pity and helplessness.”

iE media has played a vital role in helping us

“iEmpathize has specifically strengthened the impact of TAT … In a day where the medium of technology accounts for a significant portion of how people communicate and learn, iE media has played a vital role in helping us package the TAT message in a compelling and inspirational way, thus enabling TAT to educate, equip, empower and mobilize a major player in the transportation industry to become modern day abolitionists.”

We are so grateful for our partnership with iEmpathize

iEmpathize’s impactful and moving media was incorporated into the Women in the World Summit’s segment on the perils facing women and girls in Mexico and Central America. The brilliant and original footage informed, engaged and inspired our audience. We are so grateful for the partnership with iEmpathize and hope we can work together on women’s issues in the future.

Your presentations are much more intimate and direct

“I myself have attended several other trainings on the same subject, but found your presentations much more intimate and direct to the populations we serve … I have no doubt that the time spent today with our county’s counselors will have a huge impact in both awareness and in helping our youth with the learning and knowledge to identify and support our at risk students.”

Such a phenomenal tool for working with vulnerable youth!

There was one student who realized that a positive person in her life was actually wearing disguises. We helped her to pinpoint better qualities to look for in a positive pull. I have watched teens realize in real time that someone they thought was a positive pull was actually negative. They are also realizing the long-term effects of negative pushes and the consequences that come with that. Such a phenomenal tool for working with vulnerable youth!

This program was just what they needed

The Empower Youth Program gave students tools to deal with negative pushes and pulls. We are still working with students using the program tools. This program was just what they needed.

Thank you for taking the time to help my students grow emotionally!

“The Empower Youth Program teaches students life skills necessary to take on some of life’s most difficult challenges. The presentations are inspirational and filled with useful advice. The videos share stories of real people with real life experiences that students can connect with. My students have bonded more and supported each other more and gained more trust for each other. Thank you for taking the time to help my students grow emotionally!”

That light-switch just got turned on!

We have a kid that was a definite bully and a suicide risk, and the Director of the Boys and Girls Club and I saw an immediate change in him. It was like, “Okay, that light-switch just got turned on!”
