The Arts of Self-Care
BuildaBridge Restorative Teaching Artists began to facilitate an online workshop called, The Arts of Self-Care. The Arts of Self-Care brings together the intrinsic value of art-making with an understanding of art-making's biological, neurological and psychological benefits. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Regional Task Force funded the program to reach 12 frontline human services organizations responding to the COVID crisis. Self-Care is extremely critical to individual being and supports a person's ability to serve others. If you're interested in joining an Arts of Self-Care Public Program or hearing more, please contact BaB.
