Program Description

Event Details

Create your own DIY Calming Kit to help manage stress, anxiety, or panic attacks. In this hands-on program for junior high through adults, participants will assemble a small personal toolkit filled with soothing items and simple coping strategies. Learn how tools like grounding prompts, sensory objects, and breathing techniques can help you regain calm during overwhelming moments. All materials are provided, and everyone will leave with a customized kit to keep at home, school, or work. This welcoming program encourages self-care, resilience, and practical ways to support your mental well-being.

Mokena Community Public Library District Card Holder - Priority Registration

Priority registration is available exclusively to Mokena library cardholders ensuring that Mokena library cardholders receive the first opportunity to explore and participate in our limited room programs. This is a new procedure for our high demand programs. Non-Mokena Community Public Library District Holders will be placed on a pending wait list until 72 hours prior to the program. If there are openings at that time the wait list will be transferred to the registered list in the order they were added to the wait list.
