SUMMARY:Coping Skills BINGO
DESCRIPTION:Coping Skills BINGO\nWednesday\, May 26th\, 5:00-6:30pm via ZOOM\nJoin us for virtual BINGO…with a fun twist! Each Letter/Number combination has a scenario associated with it. If a letter/number combination is called and you can put a chip on that combination – you will pick a coping skill that you would use in that situation. This will give everyone an opportunity to think about and apply some things they have learned over the month as well as discuss what works best for them! Prizes will be given to the first person to get BINGO in each round. \nThroughout the month of May\, Teen Scene will host events that are related to our theme of mental health and coping skills. Registered youth can attend the weekly Teen Scene events to participate in discussion and activities that can count towards their participation in the Coping Skills Challenge for that day. However\, anyone can participate in the May Teen Scene events even if they are not registered for the Coping Skills challenge. \n*With the need for physical distancing\, Family Resource Network Teen Scene and Dragon Dates will continue hosting virtual events via Zoom until further\nnotice. The age range for Teen Scene events has been expanded and these will be open to any school aged youth. Dragon Dates events are for individuals with OPWDD eligibility living in the family home in Broome\, Chenango\, Otsego\, Delaware\, Tioga or Tompkins County.* \nRegistration is required! \nRegistration Form \nIf you have any questions\, please call us at 607-432-0001.
