Workshop Description
Thankfully mental health awareness is changing for children through the introduction of mental health lessons in schools along with mental health peer education teams who will work with young people in schools to help them measure their own mental well-being. Schools are evolving and seeing how that learning to deal with your emotions is as important as learning to read and write. Kaleidoscope Speakers Bureau is a supplemental mental health education program for high school and college students. This program has helped to learn what important lessons teenagers and young adults need to learn in schools, and what our children are craving to know about mental health! Come see what this ideal curriculum would look like.
