Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am a mental health therapist that wants to support students through art therapy. Art therapy promotes problem-solving skills, encourages self-reflection, and fosters a sense of accomplishment. It nurtures creativity and emotional intelligence. By offering students a non-judgmental space to explore their feelings and experiences, art therapy supports their overall well-being, enabling them to thrive both in and out of the classroom

Art therapy is a powerful tool for students to explore and express their emotions in a safe and creative environment.

It provides an outlet for stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges, allowing students to process their feelings without words. Through art, students can communicate complex emotions that may be difficult to express verbally, helping them gain self-awareness and emotional resilience.

The products I have selected will enable me to provide a variety of art forms that help students build resilience, improve their mental health, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.
