Mindful Kids Series for FCC

Mental illness is at an epidemic rate in our country. It affects all levels of society and all age groups. There is widespread need to help those affected by mental illness, and Family Counseling Center is one organization that is working with youth in the Poplar Bluff area through counseling and after school group programs.

Mental illness has profoundly affected my family in numerous ways. I have seen several family members profoundly affected by depression, bipolar and other mental health conditions. In our own home, we have been walking Stephen through getting help for his own mental health struggles. 

I want to make a difference for the many young people struggling with mental health issues, and so I want to get at least 25 sets of the Mindful Kids Series into FCC's programs to be distributed and used by kids who need them.

Each book in the series offers kids a creative outlet to work through such issues as anxiety, worrying, bullying, sadness, anger, and fear.

I appreciate each one of you who reached out to support this book drive!
