CREATE with HARRY gives kids, and the adults who support them, simple, research-backed activities that build resilience one day at a time.
HARRY stands for Healthy Activities for Raising Resilient Youth. Developed by the Boys Town Child and Family Translational Research Center, HARRY is a research-validated framework that identifies six categories of everyday activity, Connect, Renew, Exercise, Appreciate, Think, and Express, that help young people build resilience and hope.
CREATE with HARRY isn't therapy. It's a toolkit for real life: things kids already do (or can start doing) that science shows actually protect their mental health and help them navigate hard times.
"CREATE with HARRY works best alongside other tools in your parenting toolkit. Explore more Boys Town resources:
