The Trauma Doesn’t End When the Headlines Fade.

More than 400,000 students in the U.S. have been exposed to gun violence in school.Behind every statistic is a student like Maya—navigating fear, guilt, and isolation. Yet most educators and counselors never receive any practice in how to respond.
“Most school preparedness trainings focus on "what" to do—not the emotional, human conversations that follow. It's so important to understand how to support students and each other through something no one should ever have to experience.”
‍

"Despite the time that's passed, many current students and educators still need special assistance and care. We suffer setbacks and regular retraumatization each time another school shooting occurs, leaving a struggling community further on edge and harming our recovery efforts."

Why We Created This
This experience was created in response to a growing crisis: the emotional unpreparedness of our schools.

‍Every day, educators, counselors, and mental health professionals are called to support students through the unimaginable—often without ever having practiced how.
The Genius Academy Mission
We're revolutionizing how people prepare to care for others. Not through lectures or handbooks, but through immersive, emotional practice and stories that feel real—because the stakes are.

Because the most critical conversations
can't be left to chance.

‍And the people having them deserve more than a protocol.
They deserve presence.
They deserve to be ready.
Your preparation could make the difference.
