Champions Honoring Accountability, Motivation, Performance and Skills is a therapeutic mentoring program within Daniel's Company Youth Leadership Mentoring Program, designed to help young men build healthier relationships, stronger life skills, and a better path forward.
C.H.A.M.P.S. serves young men aged 13–18 in Connecticut who are involved in the Juvenile Justice System, Child Welfare System, or have a history of trauma or system involvement. Our mission is to provide healthy and positive relationships to our mentees while giving them clinical and life skills that will benefit them in every aspect of their lives.
C.H.A.M.P.S. uses a culturally responsive and strength-based approach to meet young people where they are and help them move forward. The program is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles from initial engagement and focuses on building practical tools youth can use in everyday life.
Youth are encouraged to take responsibility for choices, actions, and goals while building healthier habits and routines.
The program helps youth reconnect with purpose, develop drive, and see new possibilities for their future.
Through mentoring and practical experiences, youth strengthen life skills, communication, and emotional regulation.
C.H.A.M.P.S. is designed for youth who need structured support, positive role models, and a safe space to grow. It is especially relevant for young people navigating trauma, system involvement, or other life challenges that require consistent care and guidance.
Our staff are highly qualified professionals with strong clinical backgrounds and therapeutic expertise. They hold degrees in fields like Social Work, Psychology, and Counseling and have specialized training in evidence-based therapies and interventions and/or lived experiences.
