BRINGING EMOTIONAL LEARNING TO K-12 SCHOOLS!!
Did you know, 1 in 4 teens struggle with mental health (NAMI)? Feelings are a HUGE part of our daily life, yet we rarely talk about them. The good news is that together we can normalize conversations and work to de-stigmatize mental health! I partner with schools, libraries, and all kinds of organizations serving kids and teens to make emotional learning accessible and fun! Check out my workshop offerings below.
School s’more fun with friends!
Want to bring Twitch and his campfire crew to your school? Let’s glow! Below are a few ways I can bring emotional learning to elementary-aged kids:
“Where Did Anxiety Go?”: Book read-aloud in Spanish or English. Great for K-2 kids!
Let’s Draw Twitch!: Step-by-step drawing session of my wholesome characters. Great for 3rd - 5th graders!
mental health in school is cool!
Workshops for middle and high school students:
”Drawing from Within” (45-90 min): Combines mindfulness exercise + drawing to create meaningful emotions-based characters.
”Teens & Zines: Intro to Writing Comics” (45-60 min): We’ll cover making-comics 101 and students will complete their own 8-page zine to take home.
-”Building Worlds & Characters for Children’s Stories” (45-min to 1.5 hrs): Teens interested in writing stories, will learn what makes a memorable character and create their own!
