Eric

A quick message to the educators HEROES.

The Power of Story

Empowerment of Student Transparency / Teachers

What do we do when we feel like our story is leaving us hopeless? Most students have enjoyable stories to tell. Some have a painful history and the story that goes with it. Some have made their own poor choices and reaped the consequences. Still others find themselves in circumstances beyond their control. All students need someone to listen, bring balance and help each one find their way through adolescents.

Your students will be challenged to share their story with a trusted teacher or adult and get the help they need. This proactive approach gets to the root of so many behavior issues currently in your student body and encourages strong mental health.

“The first step to drowning is being alone, but the first step to rescue is being heard, share your story.” – Eric Samuel Timm

“Eric had a positive affect on our students. All students were attentive and engaged. Immediately that day, we had students speaking up and advocating for themselves as Eric encouraged them to do during the program”

– Roger Francis, Principal Pocahontas Area High School

The Power of Words

Anti bullying Program / Verbal Responsibility.

We all have a choice in how we use words. We can use them as keys to set people free, or as shackles that hold people down. Eric takes your students on a heart-felt journey through the life of another student’s powerful story, all to equip the audience with personal responsibility, which we all have, with the words they say face to face, post online, and speak to themselves.

Students will be challenged and equipped to be a part of the bullying solution, instead of the problem. This is more than an anti-verbal bullying program but a catalyst for a cultural shift inside a student body.

“Words can be like keys to unlock doors or like weapons to destroy lives” – Eric Samuel Timm

“It was a great program that the students could relate too. Everyone was involved, including the teachers.”

The Power of Choice

Inspiration of Positive Choices / Dreams and a path to get there.

Dreams, hopes, and goals – we all have them. If students currently have a dream, hope, goal, or they are yet to find them, this program equips them to pursue it with the character development needed on whatever path they are currently on.

Eric challenges the audience with four crossroads and equips them to take the right path to become a person of truth, protection, bravery, and learning. This is the power of choice.

“Your dream is BIG if it is BIG for you” – Eric Samuel Timm

“Eric had a positive affect on our students. All students were attentive and engaged. Immediately that day, we had students speaking up and advocating for themselves as Eric encouraged them to do during the program”

– Roger Francis, Principal Pocahontas Area High School

The Power of   P.L.A.Y.

After school Parents Program

This is the parent program that can follow a day of assemblies for parents and guardians of students spoken to during the day. This program equips parents to know the message provided during the day and also encourages healthy relationships with their children in the path ahead.

Parents will be challenged and equipped to keep Patient, Laugh, stay Active and learn how to say YES with parameters to their kids. This is a great way to connect the dots with students, parents, and the school while offering the positive development of them all.

“You want your kid to look back and see this moment, and moments they had under your care as positive, then we must never forget the power of PLAY.”

You keep the art!

Live Art Perfomances that display hope, healing and a better future.

"

Live Art therapy performance is provided for other charity, non-profits, hospice, behavioral health and counseling based programs and organizations. So we discovered something in this process and science; ART speaks when WORDS can not.

Because of this the original art created live by Eric Samuel Timm is then donated by Painting Hope to be displayed to serve as both decor and a public reminder of the message(s) presented. Far after the programs is over the art will continue to revel this truth.

Sometimes people need to SEE what the CAN NOT hear.
