Psychoeducational Art Workshop Facilitator ~ Part Time
Connected North - Taking It Global ~ online across Canadian communities
What a 1-Hour Online Art-Based Session for Grade School Students Looks Like:
In this psycho-educational session, students are introduced to art therapy and how creative expression can support emotional well-being. They then create their own "Shelf of Well-being" artwork - personalized pieces that help them explore and define what well-being means to them. As they work, there’s time for reflection and discussion on self-care and emotion regulation. The completed art serves as a lasting, visual tool for students to use at home to support their mental and emotional health.
