- There’s no denying 2020 was a difficult year- it’s been tough for all of us, in very different ways. At Project Renew, we recognize that our children are struggling. In response to this, beginning in March, Project Renew will be offering TEAMS virtual support platforms for adolescents. With emotional and social wellness in mind, Grades 6, 7 and 8 will compose one group, with Grades 9, 10 and 11
composing another. The support sessions will be a four-part series with carefully chosen topics, incorporating wellness, signs of COVID blues, coping skills and resilience building across all age levels. Topics may change based on participant needs and wishes. The sessions will be fun, engaging and designed to build connection between peers, providing a safe space for adolescents to be heard, understood, and supported.
