When the drive for success outpaces emotional support, the results can be devastating for mental health.Join us at the Darien Library where Scarlett Lewis, Darien native and Founder of the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement, will lead a vital presentation on how to provide our youth with the "emotional armor" they need to thrive. Scarlett launched the Choose Love Movement after her son, Jesse, was murdered during the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy in December 2012. She has since dedicated her life to a mission of proactive prevention: to empower every child and adult with essential life skills so that they are able to flourish, regardless of the challenges they face.This session will explore how the Choose Love formula serves as a powerful solution for managing high-stress environments and improving long-term mental health.Topics will include:Essential life skills: The most effective ways to combat stress, isolation, and mental health crises that have affected our community.Practical Solutions for Parents: How you can use these simple methods at home to help your kids navigate pressure and build lasting resilience.Creating a Safety Net: How cultivating compassion can transform culture and provide a protective layer for our most vulnerable neighbors.A Personal Journey: Hear from Ellie O’Kane, a Choose Love Movement Youth Ambassador and Darien resident, on how these specific Choose Love skills have made a daily, tangible impact on navigating the pressures of school and life in Darien.The evening will conclude with a Q&A session. This is an open space for parents, students, and educators to talk directly with Scarlett and Ellie about how we can make choosing love a daily practice in our homes and schools. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/6bc6ba70-0947-11f1-a70f-b15bde9c1f1d-rimg-w572-h740-dcfefbec-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/darien/beyond-the-pressure-building-resilience-with-the-choose-love-movement/100001982798935993 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, Kids - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Darien - **state**: CT - **country**: United States - **location**: Darien Library - **lat**: 41.0687723 - **long**: -73.4782658 - **full address**: Darien Library, 1441 Post Road, Darien, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Beyond the Pressure: Building Resilience with the Choose Love Movement - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/fbddc996d6a07de823401209321d0a9d6e1574661899e711022d510704ec66e7-rimg-w867-h423-dc74c7d6-gmir.jpg?v=1771033821 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Beyond the Pressure: Building Resilience with the Choose Love Movement being held? - **A:** Beyond the Pressure: Building Resilience with the Choose Love Movement takes place on Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Darien Library, 1441 Post Road, Darien, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Beyond the Pressure: Building Resilience with the Choose Love Movement? - **A:** Beyond the Pressure: Building Resilience with the Choose Love Movement is organized by Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Beyond the Pressure: Building Resilience with the Choose Love Movement", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/fbddc996d6a07de823401209321d0a9d6e1574661899e711022d510704ec66e7-rimg-w867-h423-dc74c7d6-gmir.jpg?v=1771033821", "startDate": "2026-03-05", "endDate": "2026-03-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/darien/beyond-the-pressure-building-resilience-with-the-choose-love-movement/100001982798935993", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Darien Library", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1441 Post Road", "postalCode": "06820", "addressLocality": "Darien", "addressRegion": "CT", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "41.0687723", "longitude": "-73.4782658" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join Scarlett Lewis at the Darien Library for a vital presentation about helping students combat stress, isolation & mental health crises.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "2026-03-05", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/darien/beyond-the-pressure-building-resilience-with-the-choose-love-movement/100001982798935993" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/darien/beyond-the-pressure-building-resilience-with-the-choose-love-movement/100001982798935993", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/jesse-lewis-choose-love-movement/27465105", "description": "Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement™ is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a mission to ensure that every child has access to essential life skills and Character Social Emotional Development (CSED) in their classrooms and to help facilitate this teaching within their families, schools and communities.
