About the Event

Our Social Wellness Nights are tailored for children in grades K-5 and are curated to foster positive interactions, promote mental well-being, and encourage healthy socialization. Through a variety of activities and engaging programs, we aim to create a supportive community where every child feels valued and included. Pizza and drinks will be provided.

What to Expect

Engaging Activities: Our dedicated staff will lead participants in a range of fun activities, including games, arts and crafts, video shorts, and more. These activities are designed to promote teamwork, creativity, and self-expression.
Positive Peer Interactions: Children will have the opportunity to interact with peers in a supportive and inclusive environment. Our staff members will facilitate activities that encourage collaboration, communication, and friendship-building.
Mental Health Awareness: Alongside the fun-filled activities, we will incorporate discussions and resources to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and well-being. Through age-appropriate conversations, children will learn valuable strategies for managing emotions and coping with challenges.

Why Social Wellness Matters

Social wellness is a crucial aspect of a child's overall development. By fostering positive social interactions and providing opportunities for peer connections, we can enhance children's self-esteem, communication skills, and emotional resilience. Additionally, promoting mental health awareness from a young age helps to reduce stigma and encourages open dialogue about feelings and emotions.
