Don’t miss two summer opportunities for youth from our Community Mental Health and Counseling:

YOUTH EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY GROUP

Expressive Arts Therapy draws from various art forms such as writing, dance, drama, storytelling, painting, and drawing. It includes a multimodal approach, combining therapy and the creative process to promote personal growth, self-discovery, and healing. Creative expressions give therapists various tools to help people tap into their imagination, body sensations, feelings, emotions, and thought processes. This group requires no prior experience or talent.

– Tuesdays and Thursdays, June 24 through July 31, 3 to 5 p.m.
