"Our primary focus will be on five key areas: resilience, critical thinking skills, confidence building, self-care, and the connection between a healthy mind and a healthy body.
"Through carefully designed activities, we aim to challenge and develop these areas in a healthy and enjoyable way.
“By participating in our Mental Health and Exercise Kids Club, the children or teens can expect to gain valuable insights into themselves while acquiring practical tools to approach activities and challenges with a positive mindset.
