Let's Talk Tampa Bay

Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from Sligh Middle School and Foster Elementary School back after the long post-hurricane break! It was heartwarming to see their excitement as they reunited with friends, dove into Feelings Jenga, and even got a chance to be featured on Good Morning America! Huge thanks to the Bullard Family Foundation for welcoming us and making these moments possible. ?? #MentalHealth #TampaBay
