Sports Legends of Color offers youth participants a 30-minute mental-emotional wellness activity conducted by facilitators and the Black Mental Wellness Response Team. Topics and activities are related to a Sports Legend of Color from the same sport. Our facilitators share the triumphs and challenges of the Sports Legend such as Kiki Stokes, Lisa Leslie, Hank Aaron, General Bass,and work with participants to complete one tactical activity that addresses the wellness topic. Topics include working through emotions, stress management, creating positive narratives, connecting with friends and family, self-awareness, and more. At the end of each activity, the students complete a one-page reflection worksheet. Students are given, shirts, hats, and backpacks filled with mental-emotional support goodies; including kid-friendly workbooks, journals, and a variety of stress-relief tools and games.
