In collaboration with the Girls Scouts of West Palm Beach Florida, CBLCSW host mental health & wellness day
May 4, 2024
In collaboration with the Girls Scouts of the USA, CBLCSW Mental Health Education Services hosted an empowering Mental Health and Wellness Day aimed at nurturing the mental and emotional well-being of young girls. The event provided a platform for girls to delve into various aspects of mental health education, emotional intelligence, and self-care practices.
The day began with engaging sessions on physical health, understanding mental health, exploring emotions, and concluded with learning about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) grounding techniques. Through interactive workshops, the girls gained valuable insights into recognizing and managing their emotions effectively. Nutrition and its impact on mental well-being were also highlighted, with informative sessions focusing on healthy eating habits and the connection between our diets and mood.
One of the main highlights of the wellness day was the opportunity for the girls to earn Girls Scouts badges tailored to mental health awareness, self-advocacy, and emotional literacy. These badges not only recognize their participation in the day but will also serve as a testament to their commitment to personal growth and well-being.
To support their emotional journey, each participant received tools to take home aimed at fostering emotional growth and self-care. These included CBLCSW original daily feelings journals to encourage daily reflection, CBLCSW “In My Feelings” emotional regulation flashcards for coping strategies, CBLCSW original positive affirmation coloring books for creativity and relaxation, and a goodie bag filled with self-care items to promote holistic well-being and self care.
Overall, the Mental Health and Wellness Day provided a nurturing environment for the girls to learn, grow, and prioritize their mental and emotional health. By equipping them with knowledge, skills, and resources, we aimed to empower these young individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence.
If you feel like our services can be beneficial to any young individuals you encounter, please connect with us!
