Our mission:
To empower grade school children, particularly around 10-12 years of age, by promoting a positive self-image and higher-education aspirations.
Founded in 2019, More Than You Think is dedicated to promoting mental health and wellness among K-12 students. Through engaging programs, educational resources, and community partnerships, we strive to empower students with strategies, support, and opportunities to thrive academically and emotionally. We envision a future where every student has access to comprehensive mental health resources, enabling them to realize their full potential and lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
Tori Callier - President
"For me, MTYT is a program of personal growth. The tools and exercises we provide are meant to foster long-term changes in mindset that will allow students to reach their full potential and avoid self-doubt."

She has reigned as Miss Teen of Texas 2020 and Mrs. Nevada 2023 and hopes to continue inspiring students through her own story of overcoming negative self-images. Tori also enjoys hiking, crafting, and reading a good book.

Patrick Isaac - Secretary
"My aim with MTYT is that young children feel empowered and uplifted at the idea of themselves. I want young children to be bold and secure with their identity - and every part of it - so that they can enjoy their lives more fully. What I like about MTYT is that it challenges young students to see themselves in a positive way and it leaves them with their own written responses to reflect on."
