During the group sessions, our goal is to improve or enhance their physical, mental, and personal l well-being. You may use a variety of art methods including drawing, painting, sculpture, and collage with teens ranging from 14-19. Teens who have experienced emotional trauma, physical violence, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues can benefit from expressing themselves creatively. This program is more about letting or teens focus on their inner experience. With creating art, we want them to focus on their own perceptions, imagination, and feelings. Be encouraged to create art that expresses their inner world more than making something that is an expression of the outer world.
It's time we break the cycle and allow ourselves to heal! No one should suffer in silence.
If you are interested please email me personally at tamika@blaclecosystem.org . I would love to speak with you further and make something amazing happen!
