What is it about?

For youth in grades 6 and up, this engaging, single-session in-person workshop (70 to 90 min) discusses the continuum of mental health and the importance of taking care of our mental health. Topics include: what is mental health, what is self-care for mental health, and the need for boundaries and limits, with special attention to social media and screen time.

Through experiential activities, videos, games and discussions, youth learn ways to take care of their mental health and each participant will create their own personalized “self-care plan” that includes resources available to support in times of crisis or need.
