Audience: Youth ages 7-11
Description: Join us for a three-part series of enriching art workshops designed especially for youth with Tourette Syndrome and other Tic Disorders. In these interactive sessions, participants will learn several coping strategies to address anxious or stressful feelings, develop the ability to regulate their breath and nervous system using simple drawing techniques for stress relief, and discover how engaging in creative activities can help manage difficult or challenging feelings. These workshops aim to empower youth by providing valuable tools to navigate emotions and enhance well-being through the power of art. Let’s create, breathe, and find calm together.
