No More Meanies: Building Kindness and Inclusion in Schools

At Neurodiverse Playhouse, we're dedicated to creating kinder, more inclusive school communities where every student feels valued and respected. Our program empowers students to take a stand against bullying and negativity, fostering empathy, understanding, and a culture of kindness.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to put an end to mean behavior in schools and replace it with kindness, respect, and empathy. We believe that every student has the right to feel safe and supported in their learning environment, and our program works to make that vision a reality.

What We Offer

• Educational Workshops: Our interactive workshops empower students with the knowledge and skills to recognize, prevent, and address mean behavior in their school community.
• Peer Support Networks: We facilitate the creation of peer support networks where students can connect, share experiences, and provide support to one another in a safe and inclusive environment.
• Art Therapy Sessions: In addition to educational workshops, we offer art therapy sessions as a creative outlet for students to express their emotions, process experiences, and build resilience. Through art, students can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and strengthen their self-esteem.

Benefits of Art Therapy

• Emotional Expression: Art therapy provides a safe space for students to express complex emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally.
• Stress Reduction: Engaging in art-making activities can help students reduce stress and anxiety, promoting overall well-being.
• Self-Exploration and Discovery: Through the creative process, students can gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, leading to greater self-awareness and personal growth.
• Social Connection: Art therapy encourages collaboration and communication among students, fostering a sense of belonging and community.
• Empowerment: By creating art, students develop a sense of agency and empowerment, gaining confidence in their ability to navigate challenges and advocate for themselves.

Why Choose No More Meanies?

• Evidence-Based Approach: Our program is based on research-backed strategies and best practices for bullying prevention, social-emotional learning, and art therapy.
• Empowering Students: We believe that students are powerful agents of change. By empowering them to stand up against mean behavior and express themselves through art, we create lasting positive change in schools.
• Creating Lasting Change: Our goal is not just to address mean behavior when it happens but to create a school culture where kindness, respect, and creative expression are the norm.
