WISDOM Summer: Powerful Mindset Skills for Life

WISDOM summer at Riva Mental Health guides kids through six transformative lessons, including "The Power of Possibility" and "How Your Mind Shapes Your World," to help them uncover and shift negative beliefs.

By learning that they achieve what they believe, children develop the courage to bust outside of their comfort zones and go for their goals.  Children also learn how to "slay dragons"— manage mistakes, overcome fear, and move past disappointment. 

Six Session Program: June 29-August 5, 2026

Offered at Riva Mental Health in Redwood City, the Wisdom Program offers either individual or group sessions, depending on your child's needs. Group sessions will emphasize connection, communication, and peer learning, while individual sessions provide more personalized support. 

Stories with impactful tools

Practical tools like "Mirror Mantras" and the "Put it in a Box" technique give children immediate ways to regain their power.

Discussions and Art Projects

Hands-on activities encourage children to practice what they've learned in the real world.

Home Reinforcement

Every lesson includes a "WISDOM for Home" take-home sheet to help parents support the learning.
