❄️ Make winter mental health conversations engaging with this interactive Winter Mental Health Game Show for preteens, teens, and adults!
This seasonal therapy and counseling activity helps participants recognize the winter blues, learn practical coping skills, explore grounding and self-soothing strategies, and find realistic ways to support their mood during the darker winter months.
Participants can play individually or compete in teams as they choose categories and point values, answer questions, and discuss seasonal mood changes, isolation, daylight, comfort, connection, and winter self-care.
