ABOUT
HISTORY AND MISSION
The I.C.U. Project was launched in October of 2017 by Fr. Jack McGinnis, Patrick McCracken, Greg Thelen and four other high school graduates who were participants in the first I.C.U. Group 4 years before at their school. That first group was gathered as a resource for students in emotional crisis.
The Mission of the I.C.U. Project is to teach young people emotional management tools and character strengths, life skills that will lead them to more happiness and fulfillment in their future life experience.
The I.C.U. Project is inspired by the worldwide positive education movement.
The exercises offered in POSITIVIT are rooted in the evidence based practices of Positive Psychology,
