Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin

The S. Verna Fowler Academic Library and Menominee Public Library of the Menominee Tribe of Wisconsin will focus on mental health and wellness practices for its community through a project built upon the concept of Acts of Kindness to promote well-being and positivity. The library will provide programming for children, who can influence their caregivers to attend programs and share what they learn. These programs will teach children to be aware of mental health and well-being from an early age, which may influence them throughout their years. Promoting community involvement in positivity and mental health will encourage others to further the chain of kindness with the goal to support the community and reverse the impact that a drug epidemic has had in recent years.
