School-based Practices in Arts and Resilience for Kids

The art therapy program will include different weekly experientials to explore mindfulness, establish safety, cultivate relaxation, find strength, honor self-identity, and cultivate community. Art media will include markers, colored pencils, fabrics, watercolors, collage, and yarn.

The yoga/mindfulness curriculum will explore consciousness (awareness of self and others), compassion, confidence, courage, and community. Each week, new movement and breathing exercises will be learned.
