Adventure Alley – Children’s Mental Health Week: Talk & Play

In honour of Children’s Mental Health Week and in collaboration with our current Play with Purpose partner, George Hull Centre, we will be hosting our first ever Talk & Play session, this Friday, May 8th from 3-5 PM.

A practical, play-based session for parents and caregivers on how everyday interactions can support children’s emotional development and sense of belonging—led by a clinical expert(s) in early childhood mental health. Topics will include:

1. Why the Early Years Matter: Building Strong Foundations Through Play
   Play isn’t just fun—it’s how young children build the foundation for lifelong mental health.
2. Understanding Big Feelings in Little Kids
   What looks like behaviour is often communication—learn how to respond in ways that help children thrive
3. Creating Environments Where Every Child Can Belong and Succeed
   Every child deserves to feel capable, included, and supported—here’s how we create that through play and community
