HistoryWhyTry was founded by Christian Moore, a licensed psychologist, internationally-renowned keynote speaker, and author. As a youth, Christian struggled with many diversities, including severe learning disabilities. During his years of clinical social work, he recognized that the youth he was helping were overwhelmingly visual learners, so talking to them was always going to have a limited effect. He presented his ideas and visual tools to a local school district, which used them to reduce truancy and failure in their most at-risk students. The WhyTry Program is now in use in over 16,000 schools and 500 school districts in all 50 states and countries worldwide. Christian Moore has become an internationally renowned speaker, addressing over 100 conferences and workshops each year. The WhyTry organization he started is growing dramatically with the single aim of helping people overcome their challenges to achieve success in school and for the rest of their lives.SpecialtiesWe are former students, counselors, teachers, mental health professionals, and corrections staff. We are youth advocates. Over the last 15 years, we have combined our experiences with research to develop tools that enable everyone in an organization to thrive - the adults, the straight-A students on the college track, the most at-risk kid from a broken home. The secret is resilience education, and through it, we've seen individuals and groups from a wide variety of backgrounds develop the capacity to access resilience.
