Let's Talk About It

Kidzu is teaming up with Breaking Taboo to help you work through challenging emotions, and to ‘smooth out’ situations where a conversation has already digressed into troubling territory. Get hands-on and proactive as we work though tricky  topics around feelings and mental health. Sign up to receive FREE return visit to Kidzu and coupons for Alfredo’s Pizza Villa!

Sessions are held at Kidzu and led by facilitators from the UNC program for public discourse, field experts, and students from the East Chapel Hill High School Civil Discourse Project. Made possible with support from NC Humanities.
