We’re Growing! Introducing the Next Chapter of Mr. Stevey & Friends

Over the past six years, our community has gathered in parks, classrooms, and neighborhoods across Sarasota and the Tampa Bay region to breathe together, create art, tell stories, and support our youth. Whether we were guiding students through mindful breathing exercises or painting community rocks together, our core mission has remained steadfast: We help kids feel better so they can learn better.

Today, we are thrilled to mark a major milestone in our journey! We are bringing all of our programs, video story labs, mindfulness tools, and community initiatives under one unified brand: Mr. Stevey & Friends!

This transition represents more than just a name update—it is the culmination of six years of grassroots community building, partnership, and dedication to social-emotional learning. To every parent, educator, advocate, and community partner who has walked alongside us since Day 1: thank you. This new chapter was built specifically for you and your children.

As we step into this new phase, we have some exciting updates to share:

  • Updated Channels: Visit our updated Facebook and YouTube pages to explore our growing archive of youth content and family resources.
  • New Digital Home: Keep an eye out for our official new website launching later this month!
  • Founding Parent Circle: We are inviting families to join our exclusive Founding Parent Circle. By joining, you can lock in your exclusive book bundle and support our mission from the ground up.

Building a village takes heart, consistency, and community connection. Together, let’s continue helping our young learners thrive through our core rhythm: Breathe. Create. Play.
