Together, we’ll participate in a citizen science project, contributing observations that support ongoing research. Afterwards, Girl Scouts will start their Take Action Award to educate others on the value of citizen science. Become an ambassador for science and change in our community!

Mental health is increasingly a focus of everyone’s lives, and for good reason! Mental health is just another part of our health overall, and one that has been ignored or forgotten for many years. Celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month with a sleepover where we will explore the world of mental health and how we can be healthier and happier in our everyday lives. Using curriculum developed in partnership with Goal Driven Counseling, we will learn about common mental health issues faced by teens, types of treatment, self-care strategies, and community support.
