Dear Change Growers,
Thank you so much for your continuous support to promote positive mental health of youth from marginalized families and communities.
We are in the process of publishing and launching a new coffee table book “Deep Breath: Creative Youth Expressions of Healing” from the youth creative arts camp in Williamsport, PA.
Deep Breath is a collection of creative expressions by and for youth to initiate mental wellness conversations among themselves, and with their families and community.
These artworks are the outcome of a five-day workshop on creative arts for positive mental health held in the month of June 2021 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, USA. The workshop invited youth to explore ways of using lines, shapes, and colors to express and vent out their feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression in creative ways.
The e-book will be available on google books and hard copies of the book will be launched in Williamsport, PA with youth and their families. All the youth participants will get their copy of the book. We will share the e-book link to you right after the launch.
We will continue our creative arts for positive mental health e-learning program to support youth. We are also preparing for the summer workshop for the youth in the Bronx, NYC.
We highly appreciate your support and encouragement for our youth-led mental health initiatives.
Thank you!
In Solidarity,
Siva Mathiyazhagan
