Encouraging Learning Through Play

Mind The Brick
Mental Health Month

January 2022 is Mind the Brick, a month long celebration of how LEGO bricks can help improve our mental health wellbeing. It is also a month about raising awareness and reducing stigma of talking about mental health issues

This month is for both AFOLS as well as non-LEGO fans, making them aware the power of play, and how building LEGO bricks can help us.

Mind the Brick is about

  1. LEGO building challenges & events. So if you run a LEGO LUG, Facebook group, or host LEGO challenges on Instagram or YouTube, let me know if you want to add an event or challenge to this page, so we can help promote it. This could be a real world event or an online one. All we ask is an element of the challenge or event is related to raising awareness of mental health.

  2. Virtual LEGO Build / MOC gallery showcasing builds based on mental health. If you have build anything, let me know and I will add it to the gallery.

  3. Mental Health Resources. If you know of any organisations or resources which can help people, please let me know and we will add it to the resources guide.

If you like to be involved please drop me a line, be it via social media or my email nick@brightgreenpenguin.com
