Event Details

Join us for a special program: Read with Gizmo! Children will learn about the importance of mental health in a positive and uplifting way. Every child who attends will get a free book and a Gizmo stuffie to take home!

Gizmo is a therapy dog stuffie (based on a real dog who lives in Manchester, CT). He visits people in schools and other places to comfort them when they are feeling sad, mad, or worried. There are things that you can do to help yourself when you feel sad, mad, or worried. THAT’S WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS ALL ABOUT!

Gizmo’s Pawesome Guide to Mental Health© takes an upstream approach to help kids understand mental health, practice daily self-care, recognize when mental health needs attention, use healthy coping strategies, connect with trusted adults, and create a personal mental health plan.
