Service Description

We offer Teen Paint and Plant classes! We'll discuss the importance of taking care of our mental health and reflecting on our feelings along with ways we can combat stress, anxiety and depression disorders while turning to positive outlets. Everyone will receive their own planter and water dish to paint, paints and brushes to paint with, a plant and a bag of dirt. They'll be able to get creative and paint their own planter and dish, then plant their own plant to take home and take care of. We hope this will serve as a reminder, to never give up, to keep going when things get tough and to remember to take those positive mental health moments on a daily basis! Art Therapy explores feelings, reconciles emotional conflicts, fosters self-awareness, manages behavior and addictions, develops social skills, reduces stress and anxiety and helps to increase self-esteem. Ultimately providing a positive outlet for emotional self-awareness and helps to provide a personal sense of wellbeing. Nature therapy is a natural (and free) stress relief. Interacting with plants, getting your hands in dirt, and exposure to natural settings all help improve the human perceptions of emotional, psychological, and social benefits. Plants are a symbol of life and can influence those around them. Painting and taking care of plants lends an outlet for keeping the hands and minds busy. Increased access to green space reduces psychological distress, depression symptoms, clinical anxiety and mood disorders. We provide Paint & Plant events as a positive outlet to combat any type of Mental Health ailments we may be suffering from. Join us for a Paint & Plant Class to boost your Mental Health! We provide the materials, you provide the work!
