Program Description

The Grey Bruce Friends and Neighbours (FAN) Club program is a children’s mental health awareness program using child-sized hand and rod puppets to discuss social issues affecting them. Using hand and rod puppets, skits are presented to children on issues such as attention deficit disorder, smoking and self-esteem to help promote mental health awareness and healthy lifestyle choices to the children. A typical presentation is 30-55 minutes in length (based on age of audience) and consists of introductory activities, a puppet skit, and a question-and-answer period.
