In this program, participants will learn about the I.C. HOPE® - “Don’t Duck Mental Health” program for children and teens. 

This campaign serves to dispel any negative images associated with mental illness. The friendly face of the duck with its healing bandage shows that mental illnesses are real and treatable, and his life preserver shows that every life is worth saving. 

This program can be tailored to meet the needs of the group, either using the entire curriculum, or just helping children (and adults) learn about mental health with a fun coloring page or making a paper sack puppet to take home to share with friends and family.
