As a clinical social worker and a school social worker, I have not found any program (and there are a lot of them out there) that comes close to reaching kids the way this program does. Superflex is the superhero that is trying to save Social Town from the team of Unthinkables. These Unthinkables are the characters that are getting into kids' brains and preventing them from mak …
