💚 Strong relationships are key for good mental health! 💚 This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we’re spotlighting something special from one of our academies: a 4-week Weighted Teddy group 🧸 helping children feel calm, connected, and more ready to learn. ✨ Through creative play, gentle sensory support, and quality time together, families are reconnecting in a space designed just for them. And the impact? ✅ School attendance has improved ✅ Anxiety is reducing ✅ Parent-child bonds are growing stronger One child—who usually finds school tough—chose to come in just so they wouldn’t miss the session! Weighted items can regulate the nervous system — but it’s the shared experience between parent and child that makes the biggest difference. This isn’t just a feel-good story (though it is that too!) — it’s a reminder that: ▪️ Small, relational interventions work ▪️ Early support matters ▪️ Play can change lives 💬 If you’re in education, community work, or health: what would it look like to make space for more of this? #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #GoodNews #CommunityCare #EarlyIntervention #PlayMatters #ParentChildBonding #EmotionalWellbeing #NOLO (fb)
