Youth may feel more stress at certain times, such as starting school, moving, experiencing changes in their body, or coping with illness or loss in the family.

Youth may have different ways of showing and dealing with stressors in their lives. For instance, they may complain of stomach aches, have difficulty sleeping, act out, be irritable or angry, or withdraw from others when stressed.

In these sessions, we will teach different tactics they may find helpful include:

Healthy Living: A healthy lifestyle, including healthy eating, physical activity, and good sleep habits, are good for everyone.

• Healthy Thinking: Healthy thinking means thinking in a balanced way, and it’s very important when we deal with stress. Learn how to change unhelpful thoughts to helpful thoughts.
• Problem-solving: Working your way through problems is a helpful way to manage stress.
• Fun, relaxation and time for friends: These are always important to know that they are not alone. We will spend time practicing relaxation exercises like mindfulness, visualization, or deep breathing.

Each session is closed for the 6-weeks to allow the group to feel comfortable with each other. Based on the group, we will choose a theme for the 6-week session. A new session will open up to allow more youth to join.

*These are 90-minute classes on Thursdays at 4:00 pm
Must sign up for a session which is 5 or 6 weeks (Except December)

Mindful Hearts Program

Ages 9-13 (Wednesday’s throughout the school year)

Mindful Hearts Program is a Kids Stress Program [5 or 6-week sessions] for children ages 9-13.

This program uses creative and imaginative body-based techniques as a way to approach relaxation and mindfulness. Mindfulness is believed to be the key to good mental health, self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and emotional resilience.

It is believed that when we give children the tools they need to help them manage stress and anxiety they become more resourceful when facing the challenges of daily life.

Classes help them boost their confidence and self-esteem, develop their imagination, and give them a chance to have fun and make new friends.

Each class is “fun” and “magical” as we explore new relaxation skills through a new “magical adventure” each session as we go through the themed journey together learning these new skills. [Each theme changes every 4-weeks]

Each session is separate while building and reinforcing the skills learned from the last. Repetition is key to learning to manage stress and anxious feelings.

These are 60-minute classes on Tuesdays at 4:00 pm
Must sign up for a session which is 4 weeks
