Sept 5th

VETERANS ART WORKSHOPS

Free to military veterans and companions.

1. Promote Healing: Art therapy can help veterans process their experiences, reduce stress, and manage symptoms of PTSD and other mental health conditions.

2. Improve Quality of Life: Through creative expression, veterans can improve their mood, self-esteem, and overall well-being.

3. Build Community: Art therapy sessions can foster a sense of community among veterans, reducing feelings of isolation.

4. Enhance Communication: Art can serve as a non-verbal medium for veterans to express thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to articulate.

Being mindful, the specific objectives may vary based on the needs of the veterans you are working with and the goals of your program. It’s always a good idea to tailor your approach to the individuals you are serving.
