Empower Children's Mental Health with EQJOY this May!

Recent statistics reveal a concerning reality: half of all mental health issues begin by age 14, with one in six children aged 2-8 already facing mental, behavioral, or developmental disorders. In response, EQJOY is dedicated to combating these early challenges by developing emotional intelligence in children through engaging play.

This May, Mental Health Month, our goal is to raise $10,000 to distribute the EQJOY card game to children in need. Your contribution can make a real difference.

Every donation, no matter how small, counts. Please contribute at www.eqjoy.org/donate/ to help us reach our $10,000 goal and bring emotional learning to more children!
