Create: Practicing Art Based Coping Skills

This group is about learning and exploring new art materials and art activities that encourage relaxation, creativity and focus. These arts-based coping skills are all about discovering ways to quiet our busy minds, and to bring our attention into our creative process. We engage in the present moment through the tactile and versatile nature of art! These mindful art activities give us inspiration, purpose, and can be used continuously in our daily lives to promote self-agency, to help manage stress, to build self-esteem, and encourage mental well-being. Making artwork alongside each other spreads creative energy while supporting and encouraging each other in this open and welcoming atmosphere.
