COMING SOON: “Stress & Identity”
We are all living in a time of uncertainty. Stress levels are rising not only for adults, but also for our kids and teens. Your Change to Chill and Health Powered Kids teams are here to support you and reduce mental health stigma through a Mental Health Virtual Care Package for students, teachers, and parents who are all adjusting to the new “normal.” In our care package you’ll find activities for de-stressing that can be done as a group, as a family, one-on-one with a child or as an individual. We know our community can build resilience through stress prevention and reduction activities like physical activity, mindfulness and more to get through this challenging period.
