About This Course<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This course will explore resources and practical coping skills through art, writing, and other creative mediums to manage anxiety. Guest speakers may include local therapists to provide the framework for workshops\/weekly journaling  writing exercises based on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. There will be a civic engagement portion with a local nonprofit to provide mental health education and support to others in the 56³Ô¹ÏÍøB community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with a local non-profit? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes! There will be a group research and writing component of this course in conjunction with NAMI that will allow students to reflect on the impact and power of art and poetry on mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration is Key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
