Dear families-
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has partnered with Makin’ It Happen and the Manchester School District to offer a new read-along program for elementary age children, Gizmo’s Pawesome Guide to Mental HealthTM. Gizmo’s Pawesome Guide to Mental HealthTM is a well-designed program that takes a creative approach to supporting the mental health needs of young children. The program provides developmentally appropriate, friendly, and positive messaging around mental health by introducing the concept of mental health, sharing how to use healthy coping strategies, and discussing the importance of practicing self-care and recognizing who and when to ask for help.
We are excited to be offering this programming to all fourth graders at Highland-Goffe’s Falls
Elementary School on October 17th, 2024.
If you have questions about this program, or if you would like to opt your child out of this event, please
contact the school counselor, Alyson Lewis at 603-624-6334 or alewis@mansd.org.
