May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, and at Heritage Village we are joining the conversation by hosting a special event that celebrates the joy our furry friends bring us and the importance of emotional well-being. Calling all families and their furry friends! Heritage Village warmly welcomes you and your beloved pups to a special event celebrating the bond between humans and their four-legged companions. Join us for a delightful reading and book walk featuring 'Gizmo's Pawsome Guide to Mental Health,' an adorable tale starring Gizmo, the therapy dog, as he teaches us how to care for our emotions and well-being. A public book reading will begin at 11 am at the Band Stand. The enchanting book walk adventure will be available as a self-guided activity from 10 am to 3 pm. Explore the charming pathways of the park, where pages from Gizmo's insightful journey are scattered, inviting you to immerse yourself in the story and have meaningful discussions about taking care of your mental health. At Heritage Village, we celebrate inclusivity, embracing both two-legged and four-legged members of the family. Leash up your pups, pack your curiosity, and join us for a memorable day filled with learning, laughter, and memories!www.heritagevillagefl.org/
