Meet Little Monster Coloring and Activity Book was developed by NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). This project began in the summer of 2020 as a response to both the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests for racial justice after the murder of George Floyd. NAMI recognized that young children — suddenly cut off from their friends, teachers, coaches, club leaders, and school counselors — were experiencing big and powerful feelings without the community support and reassurance that they had access to before quarantine.
CNS Healthcare Community Outreach & Education, Children’s Services, Anti-Stigma, Zero Suicide, and Crisis Intervention Teams go into Metro Detroit and surrounding communities to distribute Meet Little Monster Coloring & Activity Books. By doing so, we reach a large population of children and parents/caregivers that will benefit from this simple, but impactful program. Funding for the books and crayons is completely provided through grants or sponsorships.
