Healthy Kids Day: A Mental Health Awareness Event

For their At-risk Child and Youth Care Capstone, students at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse are partnering with the La Crosse Area Family YMCA for their Healthy Kids Day. In hopes to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness, they will be providing a variety of activities and resources for all community members in addition to those provided by the Y. These activities include making homemade stress balls and sensory bottles, 20 minute yoga sessions, and attendees will be encouraged to share personal experiences of mental illness. There will also be a photo booth and therapy dogs at the event!  See the flyer below or click here for more information.
