Creative Care - Men in the Making

$0.00

Creative Care is a program that uses the transformative power of the arts to support community health and well-being. Designed in partnership with art therapist and art educator, Charity O’Neill, Creative Care uses arts-based mentorship to cultivate the skills and resources associated with resilience. Resilience is the ability of an individual to bounce back from life’s challenges and has an important impact on mental health. Research shows that resiliency can be built and strengthened by creating connections, fostering a sense of well-being, and finding a purpose. Creative Care is focused on developing community connections, compassion, and social support while developing competence and confidence in art making. Classes will also reinforce using art-making as a healthy coping skill. Led by trained Teaching Artists, Creative Care will provide an experience of high-quality arts education, peer connection, and supportive mentorship.

Participation in Creative Care is offered at no cost to participants, made possible by the generous partnership of the Peter and Elizabeth Tower Foundation and the Cape Cod Healthcare Foundation.
