Supporting Healthy Coping Skills.

We've been working, learning and teaching from home for months now. The puzzles are completed, the shows have all been watched, and gaming has taken the place of baseball practice and dance class.
Maybe now is the time to prioritize our physical, mental, and emotional well-being by practicing great habits to boost our health, energy, positivity and overall wellness!  Jump start your own wellness by joining CASA for this 19 day challenge!
​
Parents, Kids, Neighbors, Friends, let’s all be in this together!
