Welcome to the Play is Healing Community Check out the week 8 video filmed in the Bee Exhibit at the Above and Beyond Children's Museum! Thank you so much for your interest in Play is Healing. We here at ABCM, MHA, and the YMCA are very excited to offer this program in 2021 to help our children (and ourselves!) come together, survive, and heal from the collective trauma of the pandemic. The recorded exercises are broken up into 1-3 minute exercises or you can watch the full 10-15 minute video and practice them all together! Use at your convenience and according to your schedule.
