EsoniCares
What do we do?
EsoniCares is a youth-centered social and emotional development program designed to help students build resilience, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence in today’s fast-changing world. Founded by Corey Talbert II, EsoniCares takes an innovative, hands-on approach to addressing the root causes of behavioral challenges by teaching essential life skills such as conflict resolution, emotional regulation, mindfulness, empathy, communication, and self-control.
We believe that real change begins from within—and that our youth deserve spaces where they can be heard, understood, and empowered. Through interactive classroom sessions, mentorship, and community engagement, EsoniCares provides students with the tools to navigate emotions, strengthen decision-making, and improve their relationships both inside and outside of school.
Our mission is to redefine how we approach mental wellness and behavior in schools and communities by creating programs that are authentic, relatable, and led by someone who truly understands the challenges youth face today.
