Training Description
System involved youth can often feel their authenticity and self-expression is restrained by school systems, mainstream culture, peers, and family culture. Mindfulness based expressive arts offers system involved youth a place to find full expression, play, and healing. Join this workshop to engage in expressive arts activities to support system involved youth in finding their creative voice while navigating their anxiety mindfully. This workshop will lead participants through experiential art practices and activities to support system involved youth to develop self-acceptance, compassion and empathy.
Learning Objectives
● Participants can apply and facilitate new mindfulness based expressive arts practices to support the system involved youth they support.
● Participants can convert expressive arts activities learned into relevant activities for the system involved youth they support.
