In response to overwhelming requests for mental and emotional wellbeing programs from local families, the Children's Museum of New Hampshire in Dover is proud to announce a Wonder and Wellness Speaker Series. The speaker series is one of several initiatives the museum has launched this year thanks to a generous grant from the Kennebunk Savings Bank Foundation. The Children's Museum of NH, long seen as a safe place, free of stigma, has partnered with a variety of local mental and emotional wellbeing professionals for this speaker series, which are designed for parents and caregivers to support their child's and their own emotional wellbeing.
