NAMI Kidshops
Why do they act that way?  It’s not fair!  It’s embarrassing!  These complaints are often voiced by kids who have a parent or sibling with a mental illness.  Kidshops provides a fun experience where kids join in activities, share concerns, get support and learn they are not alone.  All Kidshops are held from 10:00 to 2:00 - free classes and lunch is included but registration is required. Contact Mary Jean Babcock, 651-645-2948 x107 or mbabcock@nami.org .
The next Kidshops will be held:
Minneapolis, Sept. 11, Pearl Park Recreation Center
Eagan, Nov. 13, Christ Lutheran Church
