A group to help kids feel safe enough to express their feelings called Finding Your Voice is being created.
Eleanor Snitka is hoping to start in the summer and keep it going throughout the school year.
The group will be a safe place for kids to talk about their feelings that are harder to talk about.
Snitka will help kids by doing interactive activities like drawing or making crafts to help kids express themselves.
She’s starting this group because of the high amount of adults she works with at Mood Disorders that could have used this kind of help when they were younger.
She would be looking for volunteers that could help out the group especially if they have a larger group. Snitka thinks teenage volunteers could be a great help.
Snitka wants to make it clear that she’s not trying to take away jobs from teachers or guidance councillors, she’s trying to be a helping hand.
If anyone wants to talk to her about this for volunteering or if you know a kid that could use this program, her phone number is 638-7278.
