Mental Health Alternatives to host workshop May 3

Mental Health Alternatives Inc. invites preteens, teens and young adults to its Manifesting Miracles Everyday workshop from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, May 3, at HealTree, 1632 Savannah Road, Lewes.

MHA co-founders Elizabeth Sanchez, Amy Casas and Diane Winiarczyk will lead participants through open discussions about dreams, goals and desires, and share techniques to support the mind and body in achieving those things. Julie Fisher of Gifted Alchemy will share a sound meditation, which aids in clearing away stress and tension, releasing negative emotions, and creating a feeling of calm.

Light refreshments will be provided. Event cost is $10 per person and space is limited.  

In early April, MHA hosted its Decluttering Your Mind - A Workshop for Emotional and Mental Clarity event for local teens. Participants learned techniques to manage stress and negative thoughts, improve focus and concentration, develop a positive mindset, and create a sense of inner peace and calm. Guest instructor Jill Latina from Studio 1 Rehoboth led the group through movement with yoga.

MHA founders are happy to share the positive impact the workshops are having on participants. When local schools were recently put on lockdown, a participant reported being able to stay calm throughout the day by using techniques she learned at the March event.

MHA is a local nonprofit supporting teens by sharing experiences and tools to help them manage everyday stress, anxiety and upset.

MHA encourages local teens to attend monthly events and apply for scholarships for a direct experience with local health and wellness practitioners. To register or learn more about the scholarship program, go to mentalhealthalternatives.org/events.
