Creative Minds with NAMI NJ
7th-12th Grade
7th-12th Grade
To encourage both knowledge of and access to the benefits of the creative arts, NAMI is introducing Creative Mindsets, an all-in-one boxed kit that contains everything you need to engage young people in mindfulness, reflection, and self-care through creative activities. These activities were designed by a work group of folks with overlapping experience in creativity and mental health, including art therapists, youth program directors, professional artists, and more.
As part of our Mental Health Break to Create series, this creative session invites participants to use Q-tips to paint fireworks in this relaxing activity!
All materials will be provided, and no painting experience is necessary!

Meet with representatives from New Jersey Statewide Student Support Services (NJ4S) and learn about services they provide to families with children in grades K through 12.
NJ4S is a prevention program that supports youth mental wellness and can connect students and their parents/caregivers with other community resources beneficial to social, emotional, and mental health and well-being, including clinical and non-clinical resources.
Join us for a gentle and accessible yoga suitable for all levels (chair modifications available), which will include guided breathwork for stress reduction, and a short mindfulness meditation practice.
The session is designed to be inclusive, welcoming beginners as well as those with prior experience. The focus will be on nervous system regulation, relaxation, and building simple, sustainable mindfulness habits.
