Is your teen feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected? You’re not alone. Today’s teens face more pressure than ever and many are quietly struggling with stress, isolation, and a lack of motivation. If you’ve noticed your child withdrawing, glued to their screen, or losing interest in the things they once loved, it may be time for something different.

That’s where the Mind & Motion Plus Youth Program comes in. This unique experience combines the power of mentorship, life skills coaching, and physical activity to help teens build confidence, develop healthy communication, and reconnect with their sense of purpose. What sets our program apart is its holistic approach addressing both mental health and physical well-being to create lasting change.

In a world that’s constantly pulling our kids inward, we offer a space that lifts them up and reminds them of their potential. Through movement, meaningful conversations, and real support, your teen will not only grow but thrive.

Let’s help them rediscover their strength, their voice, and their future.

Derek’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience and transformation. Growing up in the challenging neighborhoods of Bristol, he faced early hardships—from family struggles to the pressures of gang life. Despite these obstacles, a turning point came when he embraced his love for sports and later committed to redefining his life at his lowest moments. Today, Derek is not only a top-performing leader at Bank of America but also the heart behind DK Movement Cares, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering teens and former addicts through fitness, personal growth, and community outreach. His inspiring story and vision for change continue to uplift communities nationwide through his engaging podcast, Together We Solve: The Power Couple Podcast.

Kelly’s journey is a story of resilience and transformation. Raised by her grandparents after her mother left, she faced abandonment and instability early on, along with the heavy burdens of addiction and loss. Despite these challenges—and even while achieving success in the modeling industry—Kelly grappled with deep-seated feelings of worthlessness and grief. Her life took a positive turn when she met Derek, whose support and shared experiences empowered her to embrace self-love and sobriety. Today, Kelly channels her passion into community service as a Childcare Director and active advisory board member, helping drive change through DK Movement and DK Movement Cares. Her story is a powerful reminder of how perseverance, love, and acceptance can transform lives.
