Marginalized and system involved youth may often feel their authenticity and self expression is restrained by school systems, mainstream culture, peers, and family culture. Mindfulness based expressive arts offers youth a place to find full expression, play, and healing. Join this workshop to engage in expressive arts activities using multiple modalities to support young people in finding their creative voice while navigating their anxiety mindfully. We will explore prompts and practices that can support system involved youth in creatively building their emotional literacy and resilience.
