This special week, part of our #YSWW series was dedicated to empowering young people aged 13-24 to prioritize their mental health and wellness through a variety of engaging and supportive activities.

A Week of Wellness and Connection

Each day of the week offered a unique theme designed to reset and recharge both mind and body:

  • ArtS & Laughs: Participants unleashed their creativity in a relaxed paint and sip session, providing a space to de-stress and recharge.
  • Mindful Moves: Focused breathing and stretching exercises taught practical ways to stay centered throughout daily challenges.
  • Sound R+R: Our sound healing sessions offered a soothing escape from the hustle and bustle, helping youth find peace and calm.
  • Wellness Talk: Open wellness talks created a supportive community where everyone could share and feel heard.
  • #YSWW Recap: The week wrapped up with group activities that encouraged reflection and goal setting, reinforcing the positive vibes and lessons learned.

Impactful Outcomes

The feedback from our participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with 100% of attendees reporting that they enjoyed each session and gained valuable insights into managing their own wellness. These insights are crucial as they navigate the complexities of youth and early adulthood.

Beyond Just a Week

The impact of the Youth Summer Wellness Week goes beyond just the five days of activities. It has sparked a lasting interest in wellness among the attendees, providing them with tools and resources to incorporate what they’ve learned into their everyday lives. The Do Good Daniels Family Foundation is committed to continuing these types of initiatives that support the holistic development of our youth.
