Many boys are overwhelmed, withdrawn, or disruptive — and told to “be strong” without learning what strength actually means.
Schools want to help. But most mental health programs aren’t built for boys — and your staff is already stretched thin.
That’s why we created The DUDE Project Curriculum.
It’s a school-ready, in-house solution designed to help boys build emotional resilience and real confidence with staff simply guiding the process through short video modules, group prompts, and activity downloads.
No outside speakers. No complicated prep. Just real impact, built for schools like yours.
Boys drive the learning. Staff simply facilitate, prompt, and encourage reflection.

"Kyle Mitchell with The DUDE Project came and visited with my 5th through 8th grade boys and did a fantastic job of connecting with them. He made mental health awareness seem like a really cool thing. I feel like he related to them. I feel like they understood what he was talking about and he was real with his message."

"All our boys [6th-8th graders] were able to hear Kyle Mitchell from The DUDE Project and it was a great day for them. I think they learned a lot about how to deal with life and the problems that occur, especially during middle school and how to handle their emotions."
Kena H. | Sulphur Middle School Counselor

I’m Kyle Mitchell, a youth mental health speaker and creator of The DUDE Project.
After struggling with social anxiety for over a decade, I made it my mission to help boys build emotional resilience, confidence, and self-leadership.
I’ve brought The DUDE Project to schools across the country. Now, this curriculum version puts that same message and method directly in your hands so you can create real change, even without bringing in a speaker.
Boys aren’t broken. They just haven’t been given the right tools yet.
This curriculum changes that.
