About This Program

In this Halloween-themed program, youth will explore how to face their “spooky” or negative thoughts in fun and creative ways. Participants will decorate “Spooky jars” while talking about things that feel scary or hard to do — and learn strategies to make those thoughts less spooky.

We’ll also introduce the “Elephant in the Room” activity — where youth can use a small elephant as a symbol to start brave conversations. By using “I” statements, they’ll practice expressing feelings in healthy, respectful ways.

We’ll finish the session with a cozy Hot Chocolate Breathing exercise to help everyone feel calm, grounded, and ready to take on their next challenge.
