Mood Movers

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

Sometimes, people just need a certain activity to help adjust their mood. 12 children from eight to 11 discovered ways they can get into a good mood at the Mental Health Capacity Building (MHCB) Vegreville Mood Movers program from July 16 to July 18 at A.L. Horton School. This program featured art, movement activities and cooking. Coordinator for MHCB, Kirstin McSween said this program is meant to teach children about different moods and emotions and how physical activity or healthy eating, as well as, doing art can help increase their mood or positive attitude. On July 17, a presenter came in to teach children how to create dream catchers. The children also went to the Lions Spray Park and every day they had a chance to cook something different, as well as, they learned about Canada’s Food Guide.
