Dr. Mazie Leftwich, PsyD, LCSW Emeritus and President of the Wellness Council and Jane Walla worked with the 5th grade classes on the importance of recognizing, talking about and being in control of how they deal with their emotions.
She expressed that it is important to talk about emotional situations so they do not negatively impact an individual’s emotional and physical health.
