The ability to identify and articulate specific emotions helps us to make sense of and respond to emotional experiences. When all we know is angry, sad, or happy, the result is often an impulsive reaction that does little to process the experience in a healthy way. In this high-energy, interactive session, we will explore how the arts can help adolescents build emotional vocabulary while giving you creative tools to build community and belonging among your groups. You’ll leave with your own artwork as well as a written guide to facilitate all the session activities in your own program. Come ready to engage and get creative!
