Why We Host ZOW Playdates

Raise Awareness: To reduce the stigma around mental health and create a culture where discussing emotions and seeking help is normalized.
-
Early Intervention: Providing tools and strategies for emotional regulation at an early age can prevent long-term mental health challenges.
-
Strengthen Community Ties: By fostering understanding and connection, we help families feel supported and empower them with resources to thrive.
-
Holistic Wellness: The playdates emphasize the importance of balancing physical, mental, and emotional well-being in a fun and accessible way.
