Mokita® Dialogues - Human Trafficking
2021-07-22 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Let’s Talk… For A Change
Held the fourth Thursday of every month through zoom, these brown bag discussions not only highlight topics of vital interest – elephants in the room – but provides opportunities for follow-up and action.
Each Mokita® Dialogue session, led by a different facilitator from through the community, includes a brief presentation, engaging activities that encourage thought and conversation, and suggestions for ways to continue the discussion.
Join us to learn, to listen and to be engaged in finding solutions for these important issues. It is time to come together to acknowledge the ‘elephants’ that exist across our community and how we can address them.

KNOW
2021-07-23 10:30 - 11:30 | Zoom
Students in grades 9-12 are invited to join Jana Marie Foundation for a new, interactive book club! KNOW Book Club provides an opportunity for self-discovery and self-reflection through vibrant discussions surrounding carefully selected works of literature. In addition, KNOW will create connections, build community, and give readers the chance to think about their own mental health and the role mental health and wellness plays in our lives. This program is offered in partnership with Schlow Centre Region Library, with the support of the Downtown State College Rotary Club.
The young adult titles we will explore will have stories and themes related to mental health that tend to be relevant to young people today, and that tie to the mission of Jana Marie Foundation. We will encourage weekly reading of specific chapters in the chosen book each week in order to discuss those chapters as a group when we meet on Sunday. Reading is a powerful source for seeking knowledge, thinking freely and critically, and learning more about the world around us. When it comes to mental health, Jana Marie Foundation feels the more you KNOW, the more you can empower yourself and others to be their best!

The Mindful Rhythm workshops by Jana Marie Foundation are meant to provide young people and their families with a break from their busy lives.
As the saying goes, march to the beat of your own drum.

Focusing on developing mindful strategies and breathing techniques to create moments of calmness, participants will walk away feeling refreshed and having practical tools to utilize moving forward.
With the pandemic causing changes in routines and encouraging physical distancing, learning creative ways to connect with one’s self and others has never been more important. Strategies such as the techniques that will be learned through mindful rhythms, are powerful ways to cope with what is happening in the world around us.

QPR
2021-07-29 14:00 - 15:30 | PA
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying “Yes” to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.
Please visit www.janamariefoundation.org/qpr-registration to register for this event. This will be held virtually.

Week 5 Share. August 3-5, 2021
This camp explores the role sharing ourselves with others and being part of a community has in our lives. We will also be considering the importance of boundaries. “When and how do I set limits for myself? How do I know if I am sharing too much?” are just some of the questions we will consider. This week will include the development of a service action that might be helpful to another, such as writing letters or creating artwork for others of their choice. We will also be developing artwork that helps campers express their boundaries.
*If there are thunderstorms or severe inclement weather, we, unfortunately, would be unable to be outdoors. In this case, we will move everything possible to move to a virtual platform.
