What does mental health support at camp look like? It’s “safe space within a safe space"... real care with serious outcomes. 100% of children who attended the camp program for kids with severe social anxiety returned back to school. 📍 Dynamo Camp, our SeriousFun camp in Italy #CampChangesEverything #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealth
