Tri-City Mental Health, through grant funding from the Mental Health Student Services Act (MHSSA) grant, is hosting a monthly student wellness series for parents, caregivers, supportive adults, teachers and youth. Join us on the third Thursday of each month at 4:00 pm for valuable tips and resources on how adults can better support youth mental health. This series is offered virtually and in-person and is open to educators, service providers, parents, caregivers and the general public.

This month's topic is Holiday Blues. Come and learn about the holiday blues and how you can help yourself, your youth and your family navigate through the difficulties of the holiday season.For many, the holiday season is a time for joy, love and gratitude. It can also bring feelings of anxiety, loneliness, depression and stress – the dreaded “holiday blues” – for others. Participants will enjoy a guided wellness activity by Tri-City's Therapeutic Community Garden focusing on repurposing old mugs into succulent pots. Everyone will be provided a mug, succulent and fairy garden to make their own unique succulent pot. We’ll also provide succulent care tips so your plant will stay happy and healthy.

When: Thursday, October 19, 2023
Time: 4 pm - 5 pm
Where: Via Zoom & in-person at Tri-City Wellness Center (1403 N. Garey Ave, Pomona, CA 91767)
