About Triumph Steps
Not Everyone Needs Mental Health Treatment, but Everyone Must Have Emotional Literacy.
Not Everyone Needs Mental Health Treatment, but Everyone Must Have Emotional Literacy.
Our world is facing an emotional well-being crisis. Since 1988, antidepressant use has risen by more than 400%, and nearly one in three Americans reports deep dissatisfaction with life. What was once a growing concern has now become a full-blown crisis.
Today, the numbers are undeniable:
The truth is, this crisis cannot be solved by one-on-one therapy alone. We need early intervention and prevention, not just treatment. That means teaching emotional literacy where people already are, inside schools, universities, agencies, and institutions.
That is why Triumph Steps® was created: a step-by-step emotional literacy program that equips students, professionals, and communities with practical tools to manage stress, build resilience, and live with clarity and purpose.
We partner with 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.

Our world is facing an emotional well-being crisis. Since 1988, antidepressant use has risen by more than 400%, and nearly one in three Americans reports deep dissatisfaction 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.
Even in a hyper-connected era, many Americans report loneliness and limited social support, factors that correlate with poorer mental health outcomes.
These numbers are more than statistics. They’re a wake-up call to expand emotional literacy, the skills to regulate emotions, build real-life connection, and strengthen inner resilience.
Triumph Steps® was created to meet that need with practical, teachable tools that help people of all ages connect, self-regulate, and thrive.
Developed by a licensed psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience, Beatriz Martinez, Triumph Steps® teaches people how to:
Whether you’re a school seeking impactful mental wellness programs for faculty or students, a clinician ready to expand beyond the therapy room, or an organization looking to offer meaningful professional development—Triumph Steps® provides science-based tools that foster resilience, clarity, and transformation. We partner with schools, universities, and professional organizations to deliver coaching certifications, emotional literacy programs, wellness retreats, and powerful speaking engagements that inspire lasting change.
Not everyone needs therapy, but everyone deserves the tools to live a life of joy, peace, and purpose.
