Creative Healing
This weekly in-person group will use different creative modalities (drawing, collage, writing, and more!) to explore and express our inner worlds. This is a space to learn how to use creative mediums both as a coping strategy and as a tool for self-exploration. This is a judgement-free zone, absolutely no artistic experience is necessary, and inner critics will be invited to stay in the waiting room. Come make art with us!
Group meets in person in the Student Health and Counseling Services conference room. Enter through the side door by the main double doors.
