“Achieving mental stability is a matter of finding
healthy thoughts from moment to moment.
Such thoughts can be light years or a second away.”
Sydney Banks
Jessie’s Hope Society’s approach to understanding thoughts of negative body image and weight issues is to begin by seeing the innate health and wellness that exists in those who are suffering. Through an insight-based educational approach, individuals begin to see their own health and understand how thought creates the human experience. This revolutionary approach enables individuals to handle life’s challenges gracefully and they naturally become role models for health and wellness.
The foundation to Jessie’s Hope Society’s programs is based on the 3 Principles of Innate Health - the human ability to engage the mental health and wellness that is available to everyone. Our approach is dedicated to educating individuals on how to reconnect the health and wellness in themselves and others regardless of circumstances. Through this educational experience, participants begin to recognize their own innate strength and resilience at any moment. As they begin to tap into their own human potential they begin to create sustainable change in themselves, those they work and live with as well as their own communities.
The 3 Principles of Innate Health is a leading edge approach to wellness. These principles have been researched and developed for over 25 years. Their academic home is located at the West Virginia Initiative for Innate Health, Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center, University of West Virginia.

TRAINING FORMAT
Our training is unique as it is based on a depth of understanding of the 3 Principles of Innate Health. The environment is relaxed and informal and taught through presentations, discussions and small group exercises.

how we use the function of thought.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS AVAILABLE TO ALL
To build healthy and resilient communities, our programs are available to the following groups:
CHILDREN/YOUTH
Jessie’s Hope Society’s primary goal is to prevent eating disorders and other unhealthy behaviours in our children and youth. The sooner we engage children’s resilience and wisdom to deal with life issues, the healthier and socially responsible they become.
ADULTS WHO SURROUND CHILDREN - PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, TEACHERS
To assist our children to become more confident and resilient in life, it is important for adults to recognize how their state of mind plays a critical role to engage the potential of those in their care. Once adults recognize the importance of role modeling well-being to children and youth, they become more connected to them. They will know how to naturally model and encourage healthy self-esteem and positive body image to the children and youth.
EMPLOYEES
To meet the needs of organizations and its employees on how to bring wellness to the workplace, we explore the link between our mental well-being and job performance.
PROGRAMS
School Training
To facilitate children and youth’s experience of their well being, teachers, counselors, administrators and parents must be educated about the profound relationship between their state of mind and how it creates the environment their students learn and grow in. With this practical understanding of how their state of mind influences children moment to moment, educators and parents will engage a child’s well-being and allow their innate resiliency to naturally rise, therefore reducing the likelihood of anxiety, eating disorders, bullying, etc…
