In times of uncertainty, anxiety and change, focusing on what we can control helps to improve our mental health and well-being. Here is a great activity from Mrs. Fritz to do with your child to help them focus on what is within their control:
For anyone experiencing a mental health crisis, please call the Central Kansas Mental Health 24/7 Crisis Line at (785) 823-6322 (for life threatening emergencies, call 911)
Central Kansas Mental Health is still currently accepting new patients—please call (785) 823-6322 or 800-794-8281 and they will get you started. For more information about the services they provide, please visit www.ckmhc.org.
