Short Summary
Description
Sidekick to Hero is a gamified online program for teens 11-16 that uses short comedic videos, and video game-like elements to help students learn how to build self-confidence, manage emotions, develop social skills, and achieve their goals.
A subscription includes:
A growing library of asynchronous courses
Students can dive into the H.E.R.O. Arenas and play through various "stages" (asynchronous courses) that teach them powerful skills in the areas of Headspace, Emotions, Relationships, and Objectives. Videos are short and comedic and extend a challenge for students to complete in real life. They earn XP and coins for completing challenges and stages!
What is Covered
Lessons and skills taught are based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotional processing techniques, and a myriad of effective strategies for success from influential authors, coaches, and experts such as:
- Stephen R. Covey (7 Habits of Highly Effective People)
- James Clear (Atomic Habits)
- Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning)
- The Arbinger Institute (Leadership and Self-Deception, The Anatomy of Peace)
- Jody Moore (Better Than Happy)

- Dave Ramsey (Total Money Makeover)
- Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad)
- Abigail Shrier (Bad Therapy)
- Jonathan Haidt (The Coddling of the American Mind)
- and more!
I take the awesome ideas these powerful thought leaders teach and present them in short, humor-filled lessons that teens can understand and remember!
Message 4 Monday video
Each month has a new theme in Sidekick to Hero covering topics raging from improving habits, making money, navigating friendships, and arguing better! The Message 4 Monday video summaries the week's lesson in 4 minutes or less.
Hero Training Room live streams
The weekly lesson is taught in full during a fun and engaging live stream show where teens can participate in a moderated chat, share headlines from their lives, and catch the weekly code word to be entered in to win prizes during monthly giveaways! If teens can't attend live, they can watch the replay in the app.
XPs, Coins, and a Customizable Avatar
Students earn experience points and coins for everything they do in S2H. XPs help students level up in the game which will increase the value of gift cards they win and open up extra features and privileges. Coins can be used to customize your own avatar in the Avatar Swag Shop!
There are so many cool and helpful things in Sidekick to Hero. You just gotta try it out for yourself.
Does Sidekick to Hero Push any Religious or Political Agendas?
Not whatsoever! I am a conservative and a religious person myself, but Sidekick to Hero is a secular program fit for any public school, homeschool, or government affiliated organization. I encourage teens to follow the faith/political leaning of their parents. I feel that creates the happiest most cohesive homes.
Also, some schools in some states use "social emotional learning" to push certain agendas. That's not what this is. Sidekick to Hero focuses on helping teens develop strength in four areas: Headspace (mental resilience), Emotions (emotional toughness), Relationships (being kind and service-oriented), and Objectives (become industrious go-getters!)
