Five sequenced skills she practices and keeps. Flexible programming delivered in person through partner programs that serve girls 13–17, in the format that is right for you.
Right now, a lot of voices are competing to tell her who she is. Social media. Peers. Family. The script for who a girl like her is supposed to be.
Most of those voices are not trying to harm her. But none of them are her.
Align-ment is built on one principle. By the end of the program, she has a complete practice in her own language: how to notice what is happening inside her, name it, anchor to what matters, return to herself when she drifts, and recognize the good in her life.
Each skill builds on the last. By the end of the program, she has used all five together in a complete practice she runs on her own, wherever she is.
Body and feeling awareness. Learning to pause and check in before reacting.
Putting specific words to what is happening. Moving from vague to precise.
Knowing what matters to her. Her values, her strengths, who she is choosing to be.
A personal menu of return actions. What she reaches for when something pulls her off.
Recognizing positive moments and intentionally holding onto them. A trainable skill.
Not vocabulary. Not a workbook she finishes and forgets. A practice she owns in her own language and a journal she keeps using.
The goal is not that she learns Align-ment. The goal is that she can do this on her own.

She developed the Align-ment practice over seven years of personal rebuilding. What she found became a methodology she could teach. The girls program is what she wishes someone had given her at that age.
"In my darkest times, my center held. Imagine if our girls learned this skill now."
Whether she's your daughter or one of the girls in your program, here is how to take the next step.
You want her to have a way through it. Right now Align-ment runs through partner programs, beginning with Camp Emily's Way in July 2026. After the beta completes and outcomes are documented, we open direct family access. Get on the waitlist to be first in line.
If you serve girls 13–17, the five skills can be sequenced into a five-day camp, a weekend retreat, an after-school series, a quarterly arc, or a custom format you already run. Camps, after-school programs, faith communities, sports organizations. No clinical training required. Currently booking partners for fall 2026 and summer 2027.
The partner brief includes pricing ranges, facilitation models, safety and consent protocols, and a per-girl cost breakdown for board presentation.
The first full cohort runs July 5–9, 2026, in partnership with the Emily J.T. Perez Foundation. That partner uses a five-day camp format. Other partners run the curriculum in the format their program already holds. Outcomes data and partner case study available after the pilot completes.
No. Align-ment is a practice tool, not a clinical intervention. It teaches a set of skills girls can use on their own. If something heavy comes up in session, the program has clear protocols for connecting her with a trusted adult or licensed support.
Girls ages 13 to 17. The current beta is delivered at a summer camp, but the five-skill curriculum is designed to fit any in-person program: retreats, after-school series, sports cohorts, faith communities, and similar settings.
The curriculum is five sequenced skills. The schedule is yours. Camp Emily's Way runs it as one skill per day across five days. Another partner could run it as five 90-minute sessions across five weeks, two sessions across a weekend retreat, or any sequence that respects the order. The skills build on each other, so the order matters. The clock does not.
No clinical training required. The program ships with a complete facilitator guide that includes session timing, prompts, watch-fors, and protocols for sensitive moments. A facilitator who is comfortable holding space for adolescents can run it.
For the July 2026 beta, the founder facilitates on-site. For partner programs, facilitators are staff your partner organization already trusts to be in close contact with adolescents. Align-ment provides the curriculum, the training, and explicit protocols for any disclosure that needs a higher level of care than the practice itself can hold. Crisis language routes immediately to a trusted adult and to 988.
A printed journal that includes her anchor page, her return menu, and her practice. She keeps it. There is also an optional companion app that continues the practice after the program ends, currently in development for the beta cohort.
Privacy is a core design principle. The journal is hers. It is not shared with parents, facilitators, or staff unless she chooses. The optional app uses a permission layer where she controls how her own data is stored, including a session-only mode. No family access is built in.
Not yet. The current program is delivered in-person through partner programs. After the July 2026 beta and outcomes review, we will share what's next for individual access.
