(From KGCS)Homework, new teachers and even bullies are part of going back to school and are things that can create stress and anxiety in students.
The Non Permitted Project wants to connect students with resources to help them cope and shares its plan on Newsmakers. The organization will host a Back to School Bash concert, August 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Cornell Arts & Entertainment Complex featuring a number of local bands and one from Colorado.
Kyle Tracy, founder of The Non Permitted Project, explains how the organization started and its mission to bring mental health issues into routine tabletop discussions. He shares how members make connections and gain coping skills through tabletop gaming events.
Board member Caleb Miller and Logistics Coordinator Angela Palsrok offer details about the concert and explain how music and expressions of art can be therapeutic. Doug Hunt, an advisor to the organization discusses the needs being addressed by The Non Permitted Project and the impact it hopes to have on the community.
