Why this creative work matters
In 2020, reports of new or worsened mental health conditions rose across all age groups, but sharply among kids and families. The numbers are undeniably tied to the rise in COVID-19 cases, as well as the real-life impacts of isolation on community, support networks, socialization, and physical movement. This project offers a fun, no-cost, self-paced toolset to manage social emotional experiences in a healthier, happier “new normal”.
