Program Description
Event Description
We’re excited to partner with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) to offer a new youth literacy program focused on mental health and emotional wellness. Through thoughtfully selected children's books, we’ll explore important topics like anxiety, sadness, resilience, and empathy. These topics will be presented in ways that are engaging, age-appropriate, and supportive. NAMI staff will also be on-site during select sessions to speak with parents about available mental health resources and services.
This session, we will read My Mind is a Race Car, by Nell Harris, and create a hands-on craft that connects to the book's theme, helping youth express and process what they've learned.
