YPM’s Executive Functioning Program

YPM's executive functioning program, EF12™, fosters a supportive environment in which adolescents and young adults can mitigate executive dysfunction, develop executive functioning skills, incorporate goal setting tools, boost positive habit formation, and attain the life skills required to thrive academically, professionally, and beyond.

Since 2018, we have helped numerous adolescents and young adults across four continents boost their EF skills.

As these EF skills improved we also saw substantial growth in terms of academic performance, self-confidence, self-efficacy, communication, goal attainment, sociability, and reduced stress, anxiety, and depression.

The feedback has been immensely supportive. Each family has stated that they noticed a significant and sustained improvement in their child's wellbeing, sociability, and academic performance after beginning this program.


Who Is This Program For?

  • Up to 30% of teenagers struggle with some aspect of executive functioning (Goldstein et al., 2014).

  • There is a popular misconception that only adolescents with ADHD have poor executive functioning skills.

  • While this is partially true, there are many non-ADHD adolescents who struggle with executive functioning skills but do not get the help that they need.
