Project snapshot
The “Express Yourself” event aims to create a safe space for kids and adults to explore and express their emotions. We will use the emotion wheel to discuss various feelings and how to express them, provide information on mental health resources, and offer an art class with a step-by-step painting session. Participants will also learn about gardening and picking produce. Our goals are to foster emotional expression, strengthen community relationships, and build courage in individuals who have struggled to voice their needs. By engaging existing members in community outreach, we aim to expand our network and effectively address the community’s needs, promoting a supportive and inclusive environment for all.
