Kind Minds: Children's Emotional Wellness Presentation

Join us at the Willows Mansion during our Wellness Fair for an interactive program for ages 5-8 centered around emotional wellness.

Creating awareness about mental wellness can begin in elementary school. This interactive presentation teaches children how to identify their emotions, engage in kind acts, and build empathy, increasing their understanding of how their emotions impact their thoughts and behaviors. Kind Minds is facilitated by a licensed mental health clinician from Minding Your Mind.

Students will learn to recognize, identify, and express emotions in age-appropriate ways. Kind Minds shows children how to engage in kind acts through discussions and role-playing. This presentation will teach kindness skills such as listening, validating, empathizing and how to ask for help. The primary goal of Kind Minds is to cultivate positive reactions while providing children with the tools they need to create meaningful connections, leading to consistent emotional wellness.

After completion of a Kind Minds program:

• children will learn how to identify and regulate their emotions
• children will display kind responses and positive behaviors to peers
• children will enhance their self-esteem through meaningful connections

This presentation is taking place during our annual Wellness Fair (12pm-3pm) as part of Wellness Week at the Willows, a week-long opportunity for community members to boost their mental and physical wellness through educational opportunities, movement activities, and free health & wellness classes. Kind Minds is a program organized by Minding Your Mind an organization that provides mental health education to students in kindergarten through college, and to the adults in their communities.
