Community Outreach & Support at Interactive Discovery
For nearly 20 years, Interactive Discovery has been an active part of the Park Slope community. We connect with children, families, schools, and local organizations through neighborhood events, creative activities, wellness initiatives, and accessible mental health resources.
Our goal is to build connection, encourage self-expression, and create welcoming spaces where children and families feel supported.
Connecting Beyond the Therapy Room
We believe strong communities support the emotional well-being of children and families. By participating in school celebrations, neighborhood events, and community initiatives, we bring mental health resources and family-friendly activities into the places where families already gather.
These experiences allow us to connect with our neighbors while helping children and caregivers explore creativity, mindfulness, emotional expression, and resilience in approachable and engaging ways.
PS 107 Fall Festival
Each year, Interactive Discovery is excited to participate in the PS 107 Fall Festival, a neighborhood celebration that brings students, families, educators, and local organizations together.
At our table, children and caregivers can take part in hands-on activities that encourage creativity, emotional expression, connection, and play. Activities may include collaborative art projects, interactive games, reflective prompts, and seasonal crafts designed to help children explore their ideas and express themselves in an engaging, low-pressure way.
The festival also gives parents and caregivers an informal opportunity to meet members of the Interactive Discovery team, learn about local mental health resources, and ask questions about topics such as emotional regulation, anxiety, executive functioning, friendships, and challenges at home or school.
By participating in the Fall Festival, we aim to make conversations about emotional well-being feel approachable and relevant to everyday family life. It is also a meaningful opportunity for us to connect with our neighbors, strengthen relationships with the PS 107 community, and celebrate the creativity and resilience of Brooklyn families.
PS 321 Spring Carnival: The Zen Den
At the PS 321 Spring Carnival, Interactive Discovery created the Zen Den, a calming and restorative space where children and caregivers can take a break from the excitement of the event.
The Zen Den offers mindfulness exercises, quiet art activities, sensory experiences, and simple relaxation tools. Children can recharge and practice self-regulation, while caregivers can slow down and enjoy a peaceful moment with their families.
The Zen Den has become a welcomed destination for families looking for creativity, calm, and connection during the carnival.
Annual Halloween Outreach Event
Interactive Discovery’s annual Halloween event brings children, teens, parents, and neighbors together for an afternoon of treats, creativity, and playful reflection.
Along with candy and prizes, families are invited to participate in imaginative activities centered around questions such as:
What is your superpower?
If you had a magical power, what would you do?
What would you bring to a deserted island?
What would you tell an alien about life on Earth?
Participants add their answers and artwork to colorful community boards, creating a shared display of imagination, humor, and self-expression.
A Women-Owned Community Practice
Interactive Discovery is a certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE). This certification reflects our identity as a female-owned practice and our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and ethical, evidence-based care.
It also strengthens our ability to collaborate with schools, public agencies, and community organizations seeking experienced and culturally responsive mental health partners.
