Virtual Calming Room: Jana Marie Foundation created a virtual calming room for students, teachers, and caring adults to find tools and strategies for managing emotions and building resiliency.
Seize the Awkward, a campaign in partnership with the Ad Council and The Jed Foundation (JED), is aimed at empowering teens and young adults to talk about mental health. Today, it launches a new Coronavirus page designed to provide young people with informative and creative ways to stay connected during this uncertain time.
In conjunction with the new webpage, Seize the Awkward has developed a new suite of social graphics and GIFs to encourage connection and conversations about mental health, providing fun and easy ways to do so. We hope these resources encourage young people to check in with their friends during this difficult time, as well as provide guidance in managing their own emotional well-being.
For further information, head to Seize the Awkward’s new Coronavirus page – and be sure to check back in, as more resources, graphics, GIFs, and videos will be added throughout the month! Learn more
