Hello everybody!
We have a new and exciting live forum coming up this February. As requested by you, we have a blurb telling you what it will be about.
Why don’t you check out if it is of interest to you and get the date noted in your diary? You’re welcome to come along and join us on the evenings of your choice!
Our Live Forum of the Month is: Children's Mental Health Week - 'This is My Place'.
This week is Children’s Mental Health Week, the focus is 'This is my place.' Let's explore connection and belonging, what they mean to us, and how they affect our mental health. How can we create small, safe connections, especially when some of us may feel that we don’t yet belong at home, school, or in our community?
The forum will also acknowledge that sometimes connection comes later and that it’s okay to focus on staying safe, accepted, and hopeful while you’re finding your people, vibe or tribe!
Weds 11th will be for 10-12 age group
Weds 18th will be for 13-15 age group
Weds 25th will be for 16-17 age group
Each Live Forum takes place between 7:30 and 9:00pm. They will go live on the discussion board section of the site within that time!
