"Healing Through the Arts" is a special event designed to provide opportunities for self-care, resiliency, and healing through participation in arts activities. The event will feature visual arts courses in crafting and painting, yoga, meditation, dance, and music that will serve as a medium for expression to address and improve mental health and depression.
Healing through the Arts is a free event to educate women, men, and children about different arts techniques that help improve mental health, and cope with daily stress.
More about Healing Through the Arts:
“Healing through the Arts” event will bring together men, women, and children from different cultural backgrounds. The themes of this event would center around healthier communications, empathy, togetherness, anxiety, stress, depression, mental/emotional health, postpartum depression, and other issues through the process of participating in art making. We hope to break the stigma that depression and mental health needs still carry in our society. The main goal of the event is to provide technical instruction on various arts techniques, and how to apply these skills to manage daily pressures and depressive symptoms.
Through an afternoon of engagement with professional Artists, Social Workers, and Health educators the community will have the opportunity to share, learn, and express how they feel, and realize the next actions needed to overcome unconscious past or present traumas, and open new doors to better quality of life.
Thus, "Healing Through the Arts” is a place where the community feels supported, safe, and can learn new skills, learn how to understand their own feelings, thoughts, and actions to provide a healthy environment for themselves, their children, and significant others.
