Digital Wellness Organizations

For organisations working across many schools who need material that carries no platform position into rooms that differ.

Built on Ellis Abel and the Two Wolves Within — “Choose what you feed within.” A character series, not a curriculum with a worldview attached.

The five sessions

  1. Session 1

    Scope: age bands, group sizes, session length, leader experience

  2. Session 2

    Materials: story, leader script, family take-home, printable pack

  3. Session 3

    Train the team — one session, with the hard cases rehearsed

  4. Session 4

    Run one term and capture what the children actually did

  5. Session 5

    Review, adjust the pack, and set the next term

Questions leaders ask

Is digital wellness organizations in your area a religious program?

No. Ellis Abel is a character series. Each volume carries one named core value — this one is discernment — and the story does the teaching. There is no doctrine in it, nothing to opt out of, and it is used in public schools, libraries and secular programs as readily as anywhere else.

What ages does this work for?

Ages 6-18. The story is read aloud, so a child who cannot read yet is fully in it, and the discussion prompts are written in two bands so one adult can hold a mixed-age room.

What does a your area licence include?

The volumes, the session material, leader scripts, family take-home pages, and the right to run it under your own program name. Terms are set per organisation and per size, so there is no single-price page.

Do we have to use your branding?

No. You keep your name, your leaders and your program. The books are the spine, not the sign over the door.

The rules that make it work

This takes no side on any platform

No app is named as good or bad. That is what makes it usable in a public school, and it is also what makes it still true in three years.

Teach the question, not the rule

Rules expire when the technology changes. "Who made this and what do they want from me" works on something that has not been invented yet.

The child writes the rule

A limit imposed from above is complied with until it can be evaded. A limit a child helped write is one they can explain to a friend.

Adults do the inventory too

A grown-up listing their own real day, honestly, in front of the children, is the moment the session stops being a telling-off.

Self-talk is an input

The harshest voice most children hear is their own, and it is on the list with everything else because it works the same way.

Nobody is shamed for their list

The first honest inventory is always ugly. A room that reacts to that is a room that will only ever see edited lists afterwards.
