Event Details:
Calling all families with children under 12! We have partnered with Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka for a special Zoom program that allows kids to create their own Worry Creature. Hosted by Jocelyn Leworthy, a Certified Child Life Specialist, this workshop starts with a story that will spark discussion to normalize, express, and validate children’s worries, especially during a pandemic. We will also discuss and practice coping strategies, including decorating their very own Worry Creature. The creatures can be used as a coping and communication tool at home to help children express and manage heavy feelings like worry. Worry Creature kits will be available for pickup at the Orillia Public Library prior to the Zoom meeting. (Registration closes Thursday, May 13th at noon.)
