For Students
“Feelings are Healing” Assembly
This engaging and interactive presentation focuses on helping students:
- Manage and discover their emotions.
- Develop coping strategies.
- Navigate the challenges of grief and loss.
- Valuable skills for understanding and expressing their emotions in healthy ways.
In our world, children are likely to be exposed to traumatic or sad events more frequently. Our elementary student assembly is specially designed for schools where students have experienced loss, grief, or trauma. We will open the conversation around grief and the children’s experiences, so they know they are not alone.
Our goal is to provide students with the tools and resources they need to navigate difficult emotions and build resilience in the face of adversity. By equipping students with these essential skills, we can help create a supportive and nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported.
