youth workshops
Our youth workshops are the core of grit. It's why we started grit in the first place. The amount of teens with mental health issues has sky-rocketed - let's work together to fix that.
​Our goal is to give people the tools they need at a young age to keep their brains happy and healthy through the tricky times. Using science-backed resources, we teach kids about the neuro-science of mental agility for a lifetime of emotional intelligence.
​
​We also talk about real topics like friendships/relational aggression, identity, anxiety + mental health, self-regulation, stress, pressure, gender stereotypes, technology, compassion, empathy, privilege, and what being an authentic human is really all about.
in school grit
We run science-backed workshops in schools to promote emotional resilience,
self-regulation, pro-social behaviour and mental agility.
​
Our light-hearted, fast-paced workshops are primarily designed for grades 3-7 and focus on practical skills for self-regulation, self-awareness, self-preservation + self-knowledge.
​
Our typical workshop series is 4 weeks,
1 hr/wk in one classroom, but we are happy to custom design a workshop series or one-off for your school.
​
Each workshop features the same format:
-
check in
-
warm-up
-
curriculum chat + activities
-
brain-train meditation

lunch grit
Lunch Grit is a 4-6wk workshop held at lunch in your school.
In it, we un-pack how to be a happier human at school. We find tools for finding calm in stressful situations, we navigate our way through the landmine of tricky friendships, we deal with the pressure of expectations, we laugh - we create - we move our bodies and train our brains.
It’s the perfect break for half-way through the day.
We take care of registration and administration / School PAC takes care of getting the word out to parents.

Suitable for gr 4-6 / 5-7
camps
Join us this summer for a super-charged week exploring our brains, emotions, friendships + creativity. We’ll figure out individual tools for dealing with the hard stuff - the big emotions - the tricky relationships - the growing up, while doing yoga, making amazing crafts and having lots of space just to be. We’d love you to be on the brain-train!
