My Project

At our high school, many students grapple with the pressures of academic performance and personal challenges. “Graphic Healing” aims to change that by tapping into the powerful medium of graphic novels to foster open conversations about mental health.

By investing in “Graphic Healing,” you’re not only empowering our students to share their voices but also supporting their journey toward mental well-being and brighter futures.

Imagine a classroom buzzing with creativity, where students transform their stories into colorful illustrations and narratives. Through the process, they not only express their individual experiences but also discover they’re not alone. “Graphic Healing” creates a safe space for self-exploration and discussion, helping students process their emotions in a relatable and engaging way. The graphic novels, combined with the art supplies (origami paper, blank drawing pads, markers, and a record player for lofi sounds sets the ambiance).

This initiative is about more than just art; it’s a pathway to healing and understanding. Thanks!
