Description

This summer, our Youth Mental Health Matters Program presents The MEGA Brain lab: Exploring Your Mind and Mood! This dynamic 90-minute summer health education program is designed to engage youth ages 5–12, either on-site or at the participant’s site. The curriculum provides foundational emotional management for younger children (ages 5-7 years old) while offering older students (ages 8-12) a deeper look into brain structures, such as the various lobes and their specific functions. The lesson also include education on how nutrition and physical activity keep the brain healthy. If space allows, youth can take an interactive tour of our MEGA Brain! - an18-foot walk-through brain model that brings their learning to life. Hands-on activities will ensure students stay engaged as they gain knowledge about different areas of their brain.
