We will host a series of four weekly 90-minute group sessions via a HIPPA compliant Zoom platform. The first session will start on Tuesday\, July 7th\, and run each Tuesday through July 28th (4 total sessions)\, and will run from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. We encourage individuals and families to attend all 4 sessions\, if possible. This is a progressive artistic process.\n\nThe groups will be facilitated by a Registered and Board-Certified Art Therapist. They will be assisted by art therapy graduate students who have been trained in telehealth delivery of services. As participants\, you do not need to identify as an “artist” nor worry about skills or talents in using art materials. Our process has been about mindfully providing a structure to focus participants on their intention for being in the group or on what they need in the “here and now” via brief writing in a journal. We then encourage all participants to engage in simple directed art-making experiences. We realize that since we will not be in the studio space\, participants may not have access to a wide variety of art materials. With this in mind\, we plan to use simple and accessible materials that you could find in or near your home or community. Our first session may be focused on brainstorming projects and material ideas.\n\n\nPlease note: We require all youth (17 and under) to attend with an adult (parent/guardian/family member).\n\nBefore registering for this group\, please make sure you have the following:\n\n A device that has a camera: a web camera or phone camera are the most common options. You must be able to be visible during the group meeting.\n Pair of headphones and a quiet space in your home.
