MHK Giveaway at Proviso West

Last week, The Firehouse Dream team visited Proviso West High School in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month for another Mental Health Kit giveaway. We were able to hand out 201 Mental Health Kits to students! We also had a table set in the cafeteria for students to come up and get information about available resources and programming. Students engaged with the kits, asked questions, and showed interest in the intention behind the items inside the kits, which are tools centered around emotional well-being, grounding, reflection, and self-care.

This giveaway completed our goal of distributing 500 Mental Health Kits throughout May! Our giveaways continue to create opportunities to support mental health, increase access to resources, and strengthen community and connection. Thank you to Proviso West High School for welcoming us once again and supporting their students and their mental health within the community.

Our team went to Proviso West High School for another giveaway of the Mental Health Kits! We were able to give away 41 kits to students. We introduced the students to The Firehouse Dream, sharing how the space and the programs are intentional with creativity, healing, and empowerment. Our Community Engagement Coordinator, Jessica, connected directly with the students, explaining what’s inside the kits and how they can be used.

Thank you, Proviso West High School, for having us and partnering with us in supporting student wellness and emotional well-being.
