About Triumph
Not Everyone Needs Mental Health Treatment, but Everyone Must Have Emotional Literacy.
Our world is in the midst of an emotional crisis.
Antidepressant use has skyrocketed by more than 400% since 1988.
One in three Americans feels deeply dissatisfied with life.
We have structured curricula for math, science, and history—but still no universal curriculum for emotional literacy, one of the most essential life skills.
Emotional literacy isn’t just for students. It’s for everyone.
From overwhelmed professionals to anxious teens, from burned-out clinicians to parents seeking peace—we all need tools to navigate life with clarity, resilience, and purpose.
That’s why Triumph Steps® was created.
Who We Serve
- Schools and districts aiming to provide staff self-care and meet state requirements for resiliency, civic education, and life skills through an evidence-based framework.
- Clinicians who want to become certified Triumph Steps® Coaches and expand their work beyond the therapy room.
- Organizations and professionals seeking immersive retreats, powerful speaking engagements, or scalable well-being programs.
Why It Matters
According to the CDC and recent national reports:
-
- Suicide remains the 2nd leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 34 in the U.S. (CDC, 2024).
-
- In 2023, the U.S. reached its highest suicide rate in over 80 years, with 14.7 deaths per 100,000 people—a staggering and tragic rise.
-
- Emergency room visits for suspected suicide attempts among teen girls surged by over 50% compared to pre-pandemic levels (CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 2023).
-
- Depression diagnoses in the U.S. have reached an all-time high—1 in 5 adults and nearly 30% of adolescents are affected (Gallup & CDC, 2024).
And while social media continues to expand, real-life connection, emotional skills, and inner resilience are declining, especially among youth and professionals alike.
These numbers are more than statistics.
They’re a wake-up call reminding us of the growing need for emotional tools that help people connect, regulate, and thrive—no matter their age or background.
Triumph Steps® is answering that call.
