Family Time at the MIND
The MIND Institute's Child Life Program has created family-friendly events that are free and open to the community! These special events are for the entire family, and include activities geared toward kids with neurodevelopmental conditions. These have included movie nights, yoga & family game nights, trunk-or-treat events, and back to school picnics/talent showcases.
We are grateful to our generous donors, who make our events possible. At this time, due to COVID-19 safety restrictions, all events will be either virtual or drive-thru.
Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay informed about upcoming events.
