It’s Mental Health Awareness Month!
In today’s fast-paced educational environment, mental health is no longer just a personal issue, it’s a professional priority.
After being away from the actual school buildings for more than a year, Painted Hills Middle School (Palm Springs, Ca) contracted kid-grit to design and facilitate the first back-to-school / welcome to middle school experience for their 6th grade incoming class. This interactive ½ day included a school scavenger hunt, an introduction into personal holistic wellness, and some activities that provided self-awareness and reflection on the Global Pandemic.
In today’s fast-paced educational environment, mental health is no longer just a personal issue, it’s a professional priority.
At kid-grit, we are huge fans of CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning).
