Activate

With the weather being so incredibly unpredictable and harsh, physical activity became hard to come by. To resolve this issue, Minds Over Chatter hosted an "Activate", an event catered towards physical activity. Focusing on two popular sports, basketball and volleyball, we were able to provide the students of Peoples Christian Academy with a fun, active, and engaging experience.

Cards for Care

Cards for Care was an event that aimed to produce heartfelt cards for the senior citizens of our community. Combining the amazing creativity and kind, thoughtful words of our participants, we were able to create and deliver numerous beautiful cards to our community's senior home. This event served as a reminder that everyone is susceptible to mental health struggles and reinforces that all mental health is health. Students were also able to use this time to reflect on themselves and the outlets, and Cards for Care was an event to inform students of senior mental health as well as reinforce the idea that all mental health is health and everyone will have questions and struggle with their mental state.
