Another Mental Health Kit Giveaway in the books. We visited PMSA where we filmed testimonials and gave away more kits. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and it’s important for us to mention PMSA was our first kit giveaway in December of 2022. In this giveaway, we handed out 190 kits to the students of PMSA, our running total at 3,112 Thanks so much to PMSA for having us again.
Liz and Benjamin led another great community circle on Wednesday. This session, community members wrote some words that resonated with them for safety and belonging. They also wrote one word they are hoping to implement into their life this year. Then, each person put their cards into the circle to symbolize connectedness.
The next community circle will be Wednesday, April 16th from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. We hope you can make it!
Last week we hosted art therapy with Yekseny for our neighbors! Art therapy this week was entered around family bonding through blanket making. Each family was able to pick out their own fabric and tie the knots together with their loved ones. We loved seeing the generational support with one another! We are so appreciative to our TFD friends and community members for coming out to this workshop and being vulnerable.
Thanks to Yekseny for a wonderful, artistic night!
Jessica and Benjamin led another great community circle on Wednesday. Although we had to reschedule, we are so grateful our community was able to show up! This session continued to build relationships and trust from the previous session. Community members bring their centerpiece items that represent an important moment or memory. Then, the centerpieces were then added to the middle with Jessica and Benjamin’s pieces.
The next community circle will be Wednesday, March 12th from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. We hope you can make it!
