The Republic County Community Foundation has awarded Pawnee Mental Health a grant through their Community Impact Grants Fall Cycle. The grant, a total of $1,000, will help children in multiple cities in Republic County. It will fund materials to use in lessons, discussions, and more. Those materials include things such as a Social-Emotional Starter Kit and Mindfulness Activity Cards. These materials have been proven to enhance therapy sessions and reinforce learning goals in a way that makes sense to children. They have also been proven to help mental health recovery faster.
