Learn & Burn Explorers

About The Business

The Learn & Burn Explorers Program is a subscription‑based, online program designed for elementary‑aged children that gamifies mental health education with a mix of story‑driven videos, escape‑room‐style games, physical activity challenges, and growth‑mindset missions. 

Created by licensed child psychologists and built on evidence‑based techniques, it offers over 65 videos, 200+ pages of manuals, printable graphics, worksheets, and interactive games to build resilience early on. 

About the Owners

The program is led by Dr. Shannon McHugh and Dr. Jesi Sasaki, both licensed child psychologists dedicated to transforming children’s socio‑emotional learning. Together, they co‑founded Learn & Burn based on a mission to “empower families with mental health skills” and to shift traditional perspectives toward prevention and resilience. Their combined clinical experience and innovative approach ensure both rigor and accessibility, making mental health education approachable for educators and parents alike.

Services Offered at Learn & Burn Explorers

  • Digital subscription program: Includes story videos, escape-room style challenges, physical movement games, and growth-mindset missions.
  • In-person delivery option: Customizable for schools or organizations, featuring parent meetings and mental‑health consultation services
  • Consulting & therapy services: Virtual Parent‑Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), individual/family therapy, and psychological assessments for trauma or court-related cases.

What Sets Them Apart

Expert‑led content: All modules are crafted and delivered by licensed psychologists, eliminating the need for facilitators to have clinical backgrounds 

Prevention focus: Targets elementary students to build resilience before issues develop, distinguishing it from intervention-based programs 

Embodied learning: Combines psychological lessons with physical activities—escape room games and movement-based missions—close the gap between theory and practice
