District Health Dept. #10 and Lake County Communities That Care have partnered with Luther Area Public Library to engage families in using educational Tool Kits to drive family conversations, practice mindfulness and increasing knowledge.

The purpose of the Tool Kits are to provide educational, positive and fun activities for families while we are remaining safe at home.

Tool Kits will include:

• Family Resource Flyer
• Activity Materials for a Family of 4
• Family Mindfulness Exercise
• Family Yoga Game

Practicing Mindfulness as a family can help calm anxiety and build healthy coping skills.  Being mindful is what it sounds like: taking time to focus on the present, being intentional and thoughtful about where you are and how you are feeling.  Families that practice mindfulness helps everyone take a moment to slow down, stay present, and come together.

Four different Took Kits are available: DIY Stress Ball Tool Kit, DIY Calming Glitter Jar Tool Kit, DIY "I Spy" Tool Kit and the Prevention Tool Kit.
