The Way to Wellness

Achieving well-being through a balance of healthy habits with ourselves & others. Group topics will include exploration of emotions, coping techniques, social skills, health & wellness, & more!

What to Expect

  • ✓
    We will have a skills-themed icebreaker to connect with group members & practice learned material.
  • ✓
    We will have an art project to help gain insights about experiences & de-stress through art.

Art projects will be different each week—including painting, drawing, building, sculpting, etc.

Examples:

  • Using mixed media (paint, markers, oil pastels) to abstractly represent emotions & experiences for increased reflection.
  • Creating a coping skills toolbox to store materials for use when an individual needs to destress / self-sooth.
  • Decorating paper masks to explore how clients view & present themselves in the world.
