Positive Somebody is excited to partner with NAMI Lansing for a Back‑to‑School Mental Wellness Workshop — a supportive morning designed to help families build resilience, strengthen emotional awareness, and create healthy routines for the school year. Parents will join NAMI Lansing for Parent Management Training, learning practical strategies to improve communication and reduce stress at home, while children ages 4-18 years old participate in Positive Somebody’s Weather Within coping activities to explore feelings and develop positive coping tools. With a light breakfast, hands‑on learning, and resources for both caregivers and kids, this workshop gives families the confidence and skills needed for a strong, connected, and mentally healthy start to the year.

Saturday, August 29th • 10:00 AM–12:30 PM
405 W. Greenlawn Ave, Lansing, MI 48912 • 4th Floor

Just two weeks away from the largest free mental health event in MidMichigan.

A free event

The event is on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 11-3 pm, located at Potter Park Zoo, 1301 S. Pennsylvania Ave, Lansing, MI 48912. Parking is free when you mention Positive Somebody. 200 free zoo tickets will be available for those who participate between 11-1pm, and 100 free tickets will be available between 1-3pm. A free raffle will be held at 1 pm and then again at 3 pm; you must be present to win. Great prizes are available to win. Fun tunes by DJ Metro Melik.

Free mental health activities!

Free activities include weather‑emoji emotion learning, musical instruments, journal decorating, sensory bottles, painting, decorating sleep masks and water bottles, coloring, plinko for fidgets, an obstacle course, yoga, a free book station, and more. This event brings together community resources to make mental wellness approachable and stigma‑free, reminding every person that they are somebody and deserve hope, support, and a healthy future.

Community partners and vendors:

The event will bring together more than 40 community partners offering essential resources and engaging activities, including Cedar Creek Hospital, Community Mental Health, Child and Family Charities, Ele’s Place, NAMI, Taylor Life, Eve’s Shelter, MSUFCU, Brighter Health, Cognitive Consultants, Lansing Parks and Recreation - Play Patrol, DAP, and many others who are committed to supporting mental wellness for all ages.

We’re also excited to welcome a wonderful lineup of local vendors to our Family Mental Health Fun Day, including Kona Ice, Lashleelee’s TieDye, Just Jenny Creations, My Eudimonia, J, J & Zay’s Soaps and More LLC, Anime and Beyond, Sheila Marie Body Care, Tiffany’s Sweet Treats, Strode Creations, Nature Bound Handmade Soaps, and more. These vendors help bring joy, creativity, and connection to the event — and we still have vendor spots available for those who want to join us in supporting mental wellness in our community. by @positive_somebody

Join us tomorrow for an interactive session of Weather Within, hosted in collaboration with the SP Women’s Center. We will take a close look at our personal wellness and explore how the concept of the daily four seasons impacts our core health pillars: nutrition, hydration, sleep, and exercise.
To help integrate these habits seamlessly into a busy schedule, a guest yoga instructor will guide us through very simple poses designed for your daily routine. We will also dive into a visual showcase of healthy foods and enjoy a creative activity where everyone can decorate their own reusable water bottles. Come ready to learn, create, and invest in your well-being.

A little bit of rain didn’t stop more than 80 golfers from playing a round for a good cause. Positive Somebody is working hard to build resilience in the children and families in our community. Teaching emotion regulation and positive coping skills strengthens communities and supports crime prevention, suicide prevention, and substance use disorder prevention.

We are so honored to be the benefiting nonprofit. Thank you to the Capital Area Chapter Credit Union for choosing us.

Also, a shout-out to Biggby Coffee 517 for supplying coffee, hot chocolate, and bagels for the golfers! Your dedication to donating to the community is commendable. by @positive_somebody

Positive Somebody is excited to be rolling out our new Comfort Pack soon, which focuses on processing grief. While it will have many of the same great tools and resources as our Positive Pack, it will also include crucial tools and resources to help children and families manage grief.

Stay tuned for information on how you can sponsor Comfort Packs for a school or organization in your area.
