Painting Mental Health Workshop varies according to the audience and time allotted.  Below is a list of topics. We ask establishments/schools/etc. what they are looking for and tailor our presentations to meet their needs. The workshop runs between 1 – 2 hours.

All Participants receive our Self-Care Kit – which includes a 16-count watercolor set with brush, heavy paper, recourses, mirror, mascot pin, and canvas mascot bag/backpack. This is to encourage the use of art as a wellness strategy and self-expression at home.

Participants will: 

  • Discuss stigma, self-stigma, and explain how they fuel suffering.

  • Deepen understanding of how stigma and self-stigma negatively affect those living with mental health conditions.

  • Take their mental health temperature to build solidarity through the reminder that anxiety and depression are on a continuum.

  • Justify the urgent need to support those with mental health struggles.

  • Lean about the trait of High Sensitivity that impacts 20% of the population.

  • Appraise the need for a Mental Health Moonshot.

  • Review warning signs of Suicide.

  • Apply painting as a strategy for self-care, a medium for self-expression, and a springboard for discussing mental health conditions.
