In My Feelings Art Show
2019-05-10 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | Fishers Elementary School, 11442 Lantern Rd, Fishers, IN, 46038
Brittany Sugg & Sara Larkins are two passionate teachers who want to bring awareness to our Fishers Elementary School students about ways to reduce stress and cope with their feelings.
We want all students to know that is okay to feel a certain type of emotion and explore all of the positive/healthy ways to handle their feelings and emotions. We want to bring AWARENESS to mental health to our school as well as community.
Our goal is for our classes to participate in a service learning project by hosting art show to encourage students to show WHAT THEY LOVE AND HELP THEM RELIEVE STRESS. The money we make at the Art Show will be donated to the the Peyton Riekhof Foundation for Youth Hope.
We would like to kick off our art show fundraiser by having Mike Riekhof (Peyton Riekhof’s Father) to come in for an assembly and talk to the kids about managing their feelings (using Inside Out Characters). Unfortunately, Mike’s daughter, Peyton lost her battle with depression at the early age of 18 on July 18th, 2013. And he wants to share Peyton’s story with the youth in raising awareness for mental health.

Understanding the Hearts, Habits & Hang-ups of Teens
2019-05-02 18:30 - 21:30 | Fishers High School CCA Door #19, 13000 Promise Road, Fishers, Indiana, 46038, United States
As parents we strive to understand our children but teenagers are so difficult to understand sometimes. Teenagers struggle with the pressure to use substances to cope and often don’t have the skills to make healthy decisions for their lives. They struggle because they don’t have the vocabulary to effectively communicate their emotions, thoughts and needs. How do we as parents know whats in their heart? How do we know if their habits are healthy? How do we help them overcome their hang-ups? Join us for an open conversation to gain support and work together to better understand our teenagers and how to be the best parents we can be for them. All are welcome and refreshments are provided to those that register. CLICK HERE to register.

It’s hard enough as parents to find the time to make sure that we are taking care of ourselves how do we make sure our children are taking care of themselves? How do we help them understand their feelings, relationships and bodies? What tools do we give them to effectively cope with life? What are healthy and effective habits we can model for them to be mentally and physically fit? Join us for an open discussion about these issues and come together to identify strategies to make ourselves, families and children as successful as possible. All are welcome and refreshments are provided to those that register. CLICK HERE to register.

SHIFT
2019-03-23 12:00 - 16:30 | Crosspoint, 13678 Silverstone Drive, Fishers, IN, 46037, United States
Living optimally, thriving versus surviving, creating connection and unleashing greatness. That is exactly what we’re running after. You coming with us?
On 3.23 we’ll SHIFT how we look at mental health. Completely. The objective of this gamechanging event is to SHIFT our perspectives, our understanding and, ultimately, our collective trajectory. How so? By combining an off-the-charts lineup of wise, funny, edgy, and engaging presenters with a message-delivering band playing tunes with a direct connect from your brain to your heart, hands and feet, we’ll educate, inspire, entertain and mobilize our community. Perhaps most importantly, the day will serve as a reminder that there’s greatness to be uncovered and that we are ALL in this together…every single one of us.
The SHIFT lineup will include:

Lindsay Boccardo – Millennial Expert and Career Coach
Dawn Crossman – Child, Adolescent, and Family Therapist
Will Miller – Best-Selling Author, Comedian, Therapist and Professor
All the Astronauts – Faith Fueled Band from Central Indiana

We are excited to have a number of community organizations onsite for SHIFT as well. Some of our community’s best partners and providers will be onhand to provide valuable resources and insights to attendees, making it easy to leave your row and find a circle at the end of our time together.
So plan on making a SHIFT, Central Indiana. Let’s go.
