Wellness Workshops - Using Expressive Arts to Support Well-Being (2024-2025)
The Youth Wellness Workshops will engage high school age students in art activities to promote social and emotional well-being. Two themed activities will be creating a zen garden and a personalized skateboard image with the directive, "Where I am going” or a “Future goal I envision”. Each activity focuses on areas of social emotional skills of emotional regulation or self-management and positive relationships with peers. Structured sessions/events will be provided to guide the students in the activities to teach the importance of self-regulation and positive relations as a life skill. The structured opportunities for students to access expressive arts materials include 2 Mental Health Wellness Fairs, Wellness Wednesday Lunch time activities, Wellness Center visits, social emotional group activities facilitated by Wellness staff, and/or individual sessions with students who are receiving social emotional support.
