What is Project Daylight?

Offered AT NO COST to 6th and 7th grades in the Kansas City area, Project Daylight supports mental wellness in pre-teens/teens. Partnering with the UMKC’s Department of Social Work to train our actors and facilitators, this session addresses mental health through an innovative, interactive theatre workshop that introduces middle school students – an often-underserved group – to mental wellness concepts. Project Daylight’s goals are to de-stigmatizing asking for help, opening dialogue, and providing resiliency tools.

Captures students attention with dramatic presentation based on real stories of Kansas City teens dealing with anxiety and depression
Engages students with on-your-feet wellness activities moderated by professional teaching artists trained by members of the UMKC Department of Social Work
Introduces self-management skills to regulate emotions and to monitor/achieve behaviors related to school and life success
Aims to create early intervention and, as a result, prevent serious mental health crisis in later years
