Moodie Mondays is an online space for Ramsey County youth. You can be moody- or not- no judgment here! It's a place for healing, belonging, and hope. It's a place to learn and share and make connections with other youth who care about mental health. Each month, we'll get together through Zoom to watch a movie, do an activity like art, music, or yoga, bring in a guest speaker, host a virtual talent show or have an online pizza party!
KIDS (ages 6 to 11)
TEENS (ages 12+ )

So... what is a Moodie, you ask?
Well, it's kind of like a "Foodie"...
Food·ie /ˈfo͞odē/
noun
-

Mood·ie /ˈmoodē/
noun
-
a person with a particular interest in moods and mental health; a learner, teacher, or advocate for mental health.
...OK. OK. We made up the word. But we're hoping it catches on! (I mean, somebody invented the word "selfie", right?)
