Community Connections

Exploring services and supports in your area can help you learn where to turn for help—for yourself or someone else.

This activity helps you discover the people and places in your community that support student well-being.

What you’ll do:

Create an online scavenger hunt that explores important community resources.
Create clues about key places and supports for students to stay connected and access support.

Tips:

Leave a few clues blank so each group can add their own important local places.
Reward students who complete the scavenger hunt with small prizes to celebrate participation.

What's the connection?

Working with others to explore your community helps you build a network of people and places you can count on. Feeling supported in this way can help you handle challenges and make choices about things like screen time and substances that match what’s important to you.
