During the project/program, what tangible tools or strategies were demonstrated or taught (i.e., coping skills for wellness and life balance)? • In the flyer I sent, I talked about the benefits of skating. including cardiovascular and muskuloskeletal improvement. Many loved the ability to dance and enjoy music while skating as well.
