Art With Heart Program

Evolving Wellness has Amazing Facilitators running our Art With Heart Program! Art with Heart brings the healing power of creative expression to our youth and adults serving youth. We know art can turn pain into possibility! 

Our goal is to provide creative tools, resources, and support to any kid or community in need of healing. Our therapeutic programming is designed for youth ages 5-18.

Art With Heart from several types of modalities: 

Mode of Expression – Talk therapy focuses on verbalizing thoughts and emotions, while trauma-informed art as healing utilizes art as a means of expression and communication and teaches tangible coping skills to use during difficult times. Access to Emotions: trauma-informed art as healing provides pathways for accessing and exploring things that are difficult to articulate verbally.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – This is a direct therapeutic framework that focuses on the link between thoughts, emotions & behaviors.  It encourages the development of new coping skills by offering healthy alternatives to unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, as well as learning how to ride out intense emotions

Narrative Therapy- Asks key questions that help separate the issue from the person, allowing the retelling of events and creating a narrative of hope.  Sharing memories in one-on-one sessions and sharing and listening to other people’s stories in group sessions – decreases feelings of isolation and normalizes experiences.

Art Therapy – Uses the creative process to explore feelings nonverbally to reconcile emotional conflicts and reduce anxiety.  Guided self-expression can spur personal insight and self-motivated behavior, helping teens build skills for coping with stress and other challenges.
