Engaging in a self-care routine has been clinically proven to reduce anxiety and depression, decrease stress, improve concentration, minimize frustration, foster happiness, boost energy, and so much more! Join us for this single session interactive and engaging ONLINE course via zoom where we will explore self-care, why it's important and how you can practice it.

Welcome to CMHA's Wellness Through Art where we welcome EVERYONE as an artist! The intention of this event is to simply create space for people to make art together.

We will provide some basic art supplies, but you are also welcome to bring your own supplies or art projects from home and work on them here. YOU CAN'T DO ART WRONG! This is a judgment free zone and we are all here to feel good through creating art and connecting with one another:)
