Healing Toolkit
|
From our Growing Up Boulder family to yours, we wish you happy holidays! Our gift to you, in typical GUB fashion, was co-created by young people themselves, GUB and Mayamotion Healing; it’s a “Healing Toolkit” to support child and youth social-emotional wellness. Funded by the Community Foundation Boulder County, this bilingual kit offers a variety of healing activities for teachers, therapists, student leaders, and the community. To learn more and access the Healing Toolkit in English and Spanish, visit our Healing from the Table Mesa Tragedy or click the link below.
