The purpose of this project was to address the mental health needs of the population at Kateri Park and Esperanza Court, two apartment complexes run by Catholic Charities. Our goal was to improve mental health among elementary
age children who participate in summer school at Kateri Park through movement, mindfulness, and storytelling. We wanted to help the children explore their own emotional expression and to build their capacity for empathy.
