No. Blueprint is completely free. Families never pay anything now or later. The program is supported by donations from groups who care about kids in Georgia.

No. Even though Blueprint takes place at school, it is separate from the school. What your child shares in coaching sessions or surveys will never affect grades, discipline, or labels. Nothing is every added to your child’s school record.
-
What your child shares in coaching sessions and surveys is private. It will not be shared with the school or any community partner unless you give us written permission to or if there is a serious safety concern and we need to act to keep someone safe.
-
All information is kept safe and private using secure systems. We only use the data to make the program better and to show that it works. Your child’s name or personal details will never be shared or connected to answers from surveys.

Students answer a few short questions about their feelings, stress, confidence, and the skills they are learning. If you’d like to see the exact questions, they are posted on the ‘About Program’ page of our website.

Blueprint coaches are caring professionals that have special training in helping kids build coping skills. All coaches are supported by experienced experts at Emory University. You can learn more about each coach by reading their bios on our website.

Participation is completely you and your child’s choice. Even if parents give permission, students can decide not to join or stop at any time. There are no penalties for stopping. We know the program works best when students want to be involved.
-
Students learn practical skills including: understanding and managing emotions, breaking unhelpful patterns, handling stress effectively, building confidence through small steps, reframing challenges positively, and strengthening their support network.

Blueprint is a structured program that focuses on teaching specific skills step by step. School counseling usually responds to immediate needs, like problems that come up at school. Blueprint can work alongside school counseling by giving students tools and skills they can use every day
-
Sessions typically happen during non-class times, like lunch, study hall, or free periods. We work with the school to make sure your child doesn’t miss important class time.
-
Each session is short and focused—about 30 minutes. This makes it easy to fit into the school day while still giving students time to learn and practice new skills.
-
All coaches are trained professionals who follow established safety protocols. Sessions are conducted in a secure virtual environment, and coaches are equipped to recognize and respond appropriately to any safety concerns.
-
Each session is designed to be brief and focused, typically lasting 30-minutes to fit within school scheduling constraints while providing meaningful skill development.
-
We will work with the school to reschedule so they don’t miss out.
-
We will work with you to help your child finish the program, or we’ll connect you with resources in your new area. Our goal is to make sure your child gets the full benefit no matter what
-
Our coaches know how to spot when a student may need more help. If that happens, we will talk with you and connect your family to the right resources.
