The KRHC Youth Workgroup has had the honor of distributing “distraction toolkits” to youth and families in several of our communities. We have been through a lot over the last three years with the pandemic, floods, and other weather issues. These events in addition to normal life stressors have created anxiety and struggles with handling emotions for many of our youth. We hope the activities contained in the distraction toolkit are a resource for addressing these.
The KRHC youth workgroup would like to give a special thanks to the UK Center of Excellence in Rural Health and the Kentucky River District Health Department for providing the resources that allowed us to offer these distraction toolkits. Special thanks to all our youth workgroup members who helped to deliver them out into the communities.
