Positively Impacting Young Adults Making a Relevant and Sustainable Difference
A recipient of the prestigious National Education Award from the American Legion, Michael Peterson has been inspiring people, particularly teenagers who have lived through trauma and adversity, for nearly four decades.
Labeled a slow learner as a child, Michael never forgot what it was like to be ridiculed by his peers. After the murder of his Father and the suicide of his Step-Father, Michael struggled to believe his future could be better than his difficult past. One day in his early twenties, he was asked if he would share how he overcame these challenges with a group of High School students. The encouraging feedback from teachers and students that day led to more and more invitations for Michael to share his story. He never stopped.
For the past thirteen years, his program, “What’s Your Story?,” has inspired a diverse audience of teenagers to make measurable and lasting positive choices.
With suicide and opiate abuse among teens at a record high, Michael has never been more passionate about positively impacting young adults.
Michael’s experienced team helps schools engage their community and provides continuing education opportunities for teachers utilizing the nationally acclaimed health curriculum, Brain Thrive by 25.
