Mental Wellness Kits for Kids

School’s out for summer and for some kids, this loss of routine and stability can be challenging. That’s why Premera worked with Boys & Girls Club of South Puget Sound and Light a Lamp to put together mental wellness kits for kids and teens. The kits included items that promote mindfulness and offer healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with stress or anxiety.

Employees gathered at the Mountlake Terrace and Spokane offices last month and packed 900 mental wellness kits, which will be given to young people throughout the south Puget Sound and Spokane communities.

Boys & Girls Club of South Puget Sound operates nine club locations, which empower and support young people in becoming productive and responsible members of their community. Light a Lamp, based in Spokane County, offers resources, support, and connection for people facing mental health challenges.
