Mental Makeover is a vibrant non-profit that helps people navigate their mental health. Imagine an elementary age child: * learning how to name and describe their emotions * understanding how to handle those “tough” emotions when they arise * being able to communicate with an adult when they are feeling emotionally unwell The Healthy Emotions box from Mental Makeover is designed to do this and much more. I am honored to be volunteering my time with Mental Makeover to spread their resources and messages of hope. If you have school age children or are an elementary teacher and would like one of the Mental Makeover Healthy Emotions boxes, let me know. I can get one in your hands for you to share and explore with those young people in your life. Let’s work together to help our young people learn how to identify, articulate, and navigate their emotions! #mentalwellness #mentalhealth #mentalmakeover
