Project snapshot

Sustainable Art Therapy: Implements sustainable art-therapy workshops across community gardens, Mental Health Clubhouses, and Kreate Hub to support artists experiencing mental-health challenges. Sessions integrate mind–body practices (paint with herbal-tea sips, artistic flower-pot arranging, family craft days) using recycled/upcycled materials. A parallel virtual track ships supplies to participants with mobility-related disabilities and provides live online instruction and asynchronous blog-based support. The program advances community mental-health resilience, accessibility, ecological stewardship, and creative social inclusion.
