DO YOU ENJOY CRAFTS? (middle age students) - Volunteers Age 55+

Save to Favorites

Monday- Mindful Moments: Students will come together to learn about mindfulness practices and soft skills to help create and maintain healthy relationships. We will cover topics like learning how to talk to your teachers when you need help, ways to set healthy boundaries with friends, and how to communicate more effectively with parents. We will also focus on mindfulness practices such as awareness without judgement, gratitude, and reframing. There will likely be a lot of arts and crafts in this group as well since SEL (Social & Emotional Competence) is a big component and they work well together.

MONDAY - 3:00 - 4:15 pm
