A glitter jar craft for tweens & teens followed by mindfulness practices inspired by the book Let the Glitter Settle by Stefanie Lachenauer.

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment with kindness and curiosity. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, join us to explore how mindfulness can support emotional regulation and overall well-being while creating your own glitter jar, a hands-on tool for understanding emotions and building regulation skills. After the activity, Ms. Lachenauer will share simple mindfulness practices inspired by her book Let the Glitter Settle: Mindfulness for Teens.

Program presented by Stefanie Lachenauer, UMS educator, author of Let the Glitter Settle: Mindfulness for Teens, and 2025 New Jersey State Teacher of the Year.
