ARTS ALLIANCE
Fresh Start
There is an undeniable connection between mental health and the arts. This January event will showcase that connection and offer guidance on how to incorporate the arts to improve your overall well-being. We will be inviting local health offices, counselors, and other professionals to add their input to our suggestions.
Journaling
Literary Arts
Get advice and tips on how to journal. Explore different journaling styles to see if there is one that can work for you to work through different thoughts and emotions.
Playlists
Performing Arts
Music is a great way to hype up, slow down, or meditate. Come get some playlist suggestions for different moods and in different styles.
Coloring
Visual Arts
Just like doodling, coloring can be a great way to relax and push out the stresses of everyday life. We will have coloring sheets available for all ages.
Zen Tangles
Visual Arts
Zen tangles are simple line doodles. Anyone can make a zen tangle. Come see examples and learn how to draw your own. Doodling can be a great way to unwind and relax.
Book Recommendations
Literary Arts
Sometimes an author can truly say it best. We will have suggestions for self-help, self-esteem, and joy for adults and kids of all ages. Books can provide great guidance.
Professional Support
Counselors & Suicide Prevention
We understand that these tools can't solve every problem. That said, we will also have materials available from mental health professionals as well as the suicide hotline.
