Counseling Corner
The Time Is Now Mindset teaches us the importance of harnessing the power of the moment and taking purposeful action. The simple fact is that all of our power to act and make an impact exists in this moment. We cannot change the past, and the future hasn’t happened, so we must recognize that our only path to happiness, fulfillment and meaning is to take purposeful action in the present toward creating the lives of our dreams. Please read the attached flyers for more information and for activities you can do with your child at home.
This mindset will begin the 2nd week of April and last through the middle of May.
