For immediate release

WRENTHAM — The King Philip Regional School District, the Norfolk Public Schools, the Plainville Public Schools and the Wrentham Public Schools are pleased to announce virtual wellness programs available to parents through a collaboration between the school departments, the KyleCares Foundation and Minding Your Mind.

The KyleCares Foundation awarded the districts a KyleCares grant for $2,250 earlier this year to support parent education in the region to raise awareness related to mental health and suicide prevention. The programs, originally scheduled for April, were two of three programs the KyleCares Foundation sponsored through the grant.

The two programs, “Mindful Parenting: Supporting the Social-Emotional Needs of  Children” and “Teens, Tweens, & Quarantines”, were rescheduled and reformatted due to school closures in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both presentations have been adapted to address the needs of the current times and are now being hosted on virtual platforms.

The virtual programs will provide parents and guardians with education and skills to create a protective layer to support students beyond the school day in partnership with the schools.

“We are grateful to KyleCares for their generous support through this grant, and encourage parents and guardians to attend these two insightful and informative events,” King Philip Regional School District Superintendent Paul Zinni said.

“Mindful Parenting: Supporting the Social-Emotional Needs of  Children”

On Thursday, May 14 at 6:30 p.m., Linda Price, an adjustment counselor, psychologist, yoga instructor and Social-Emotional Learning/mindfulness consultant with 25 years of experience, will present “Mindful Parenting: Supporting the Social-Emotional Needs of  Children” through the non-profit organization Minding Your Mind.

Those interested in participating should register for the program here.

“Teens, Tweens, & Quarantines”

On Tuesday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m., Jon Mattleman, a mental health counselor and speaker with over 35 years of experience, will present “Teens, Tweens, & Quarantines.”

Those interested in participating should register for the program here.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is demanding that we be attentive to our physical health, and rightly so,” said Mattleman. “At the same time, it is becoming clear that we must devote attention to our mental health; as there can be no doubt that challenges such as anxiety and depression are accompanying this pandemic and the resulting quarantining. Teens and tweens are highly reactive to the world in general, and the coronavirus has resulted in significant losses that parents must acknowledge and address in an effort to diminish the burden of their trauma now and in the future.”

Anyone with additional questions should reach out to Director of Wellness for Norfolk, Plainville, Wrentham & King Philip Schools Dorothy Pearl at [email protected].
