Our purpose is to offer a 6 week multi-art and cultural project to address the trauma and mental health issues that our youth face. The purpose of the program is to tap into and create meaningful art using various materials.  We will introduce our participants to various art forms such as collage, watercolor, poetry, song, dance and sculpture making.  By participating in our program we will teach participants the skills to create a clear head space through self-expression.  We will incorporate mindfulness to allow youth and their families to begin the work of healing and restoration through presentation and discussion.  Our program works to address the integrative mental health to enrich the lives of Urban individuals, families and communities through art making song and dance.  We believe that we have to teach our youth to be the change they wish to see in the world and through my own experiences with self-expression with the arts and practicing mindfulness I see and feel the change within myself and wish to share that with our future leaders.
