Kankakee, Illinois — A free teen self-care event will take place Feb. 27 at the Kankakee Public Library, offering local youth a supportive space to relax, recharge, and connect.
The “Main Character Energy: Teen Self-Care Day” is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. at the library, located at 201 E. Merchant St., according to Harbor House of Kankakee County and the Kankakee County Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
The event is designed for teens ages 12 to 18 and focuses on mental wellness, confidence, and healthy coping skills. Organizers describe the program as a low-pressure environment where participants can take a break from daily stressors and focus on themselves.
According to event organizers, teens will have access to self-care stations, creative and relaxing activities, and opportunities to connect with peers in a positive, welcoming setting. The program emphasizes self-expression and personal well-being rather than structured programming or lectures.
Harbor House, which provides services and advocacy for individuals affected by domestic violence, is partnering with community organizations to host the event. While the event is not a crisis intervention program, organizers say it aligns with broader efforts to promote emotional health and resilience among youth.
The event is free to attend, but advance registration is encouraged. Teens or guardians can register online through a link provided by Harbor House.
The afternoon timing may be especially convenient for students and young people looking for a constructive after-school activity in downtown Kankakee.
Additional information and registration details are available through Harbor House’s official social media pages.
