Coping Skills Bootcamp

Ages 8 - 12 years

With frequent moves to new locations and family members often away for work, children in military families face unique challenges. The Coping Skills Bootcamp is an interactive group program that helps children better cope with difficult situations and feelings.

In this three-week course, children will come together in a safe space to share their feelings and participate in activities to practice various coping strategies. By the end of the course, children will have created their own take-home toolkit using what they learned and practiced through the program. Children are expected to attend all three sessions. Activities include making slime, painting, meditating, interactive games, physical movement, yoga, and more!
