Join us as we use art to express emotions, practice mindfulness, and learn resilience.
Intended for upper elementary children, participants in this program will read Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts and reflect on the difference between what people have and who they are on the inside. After reading, children will design a pair of illustrated shoes that expresses their personality, interests, and feelings, then create friendship bracelets to celebrate kindness, empathy, and supporting one another.
This program is being led by a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate from Mental Health America of Northeast Indiana. Mental Health America of Northeast Indiana (MHANI) is an advocacy and education non-profit organization founded in 1954 whose mission it is to promote the mental and emotional health of the community by offering advocacy, education, support services, and hope.
