At Onward Rising, we help young people better understand their strengths, challenges, and patterns. They learn practical ways to manage school, responsibilities, and life’s growing demands. Whether you are looking for support for a young person in your life or exploring how we can work together professionally, you’re in the right place.
Growth starts with self-awareness. Young people learn to recognise their patterns, strengths, weaknesses, understand what gets in their way and discover strategies that work well with them.
From managing assignments and responsibilities to keeping track of what needs attention, they build practical systems they actually use.
Knowing what to do and doing it are not always the same thing. Young people learn strategies that make starting, planning and following through feel more manageable.
They build awareness and tools to navigate the moments when everything feels like too much.
Confidence grows when young people begin to experience progress, solve problems and see that they are capable of handling more.
The goal is not to do everything for them. It is to help them build the skills, awareness and confidence to take greater ownership of their own lives.

We believe meaningful support begins with relationships. That is why growth at Onward Rising has never simply been about reaching more people. It is about creating more ways for young people and families to access support without losing the personal connection that makes that support meaningful.
We listen. We pay attention. We work to understand the person in front of us. Then we help build practical strategies around their real life, challenges and individual strengths.
Because people are not problems to be fixed. And young people should not have to fit into a single system before they can be supported.
Our programs are designed to meet young people where they are and help them move forward from there.
Our signature 12-week program gives teens practical executive function support through the CORE Curriculum, live coaching, and a close-knit cohort. Parent Collective and Office Hours included; 3 family calls; direct messaging with Jason and coaches; ages 10-25; max cohort size: 5.
A personalized coaching experience that goes beyond the 12 weeks and helps young people build practical strategies, confidence, and stronger habits, with support for the whole family along the way.
A parent workshop series exclusive to members of our community. This space serves to give you practical guidance, continued support, and a community that understands.
Bring the questions, challenges and roadblocks you're facing right now. Office Hours give young people and families a place to get practical guidance, stay accountable and keep moving forward.
Before you take the next step, here’s what you may want to know
Executive function coaching helps young people build practical skills for managing the demands of everyday life. Depending on the individual, this include planning, organisation, getting started, managing time, following through and developing greater self-awareness.
The goal is not to hand every young person the same system. It is to help them understand what works for them and build strategies they can continue using as life becomes more demanding.
No. While school may be one area where families see progress, our work goes beyond completing assignments or improving performance in a particular subject. We help young people develop the underlying skills, strategies and confidence that support them across school, home and other areas of life.
No. A diagnosis is not required for a young person to benefit from support. Families come to Onward Rising for many reasons, including challenges with organisation, planning, follow-through, procrastination, confidence and the transition toward greater independence.
You don’t need to have the answer before reaching out. Tell us about your young person, where they are right now and the kind of support you are looking for. We will help you understand the available pathways and identify the best place to begin.
Our programs are designed around different stages of a young person’s development and growing independence. Program pages provide specific information about who each experience is designed for.
Our programs are built around coaching, practical learning and opportunities for young people to understand themselves and develop strategies they can use in real life. The exact experience depends on the program, but the goal remains the same: helping young people build skills, confidence and greater ownership of what comes next.
Parents and families are an important part of the journey but you won’t be required to micromanage your child. The level of involvement vary by program, but Onward Rising is committed to helping families better understand the young person they are supporting and the progress being made.
We are committed to creating more pathways to access. Depending on the program and your location, scholarship or funding opportunities are available through Onward Rising and our partners. Visit our Partners page or reach out to learn more about current options.
That is a completely understandable concern. Many young people may not initially know what to expect from a new kind of support. We believe meaningful progress begins with understanding, trust and meeting young people where they are, not forcing them to become ready overnight.
The best next step depends on where you are in your journey. You can explore our programs, reserve a place for our upcoming CORE KickOff or contact us directly to begin a conversation about your young person and the support you are looking for.
