About the Program:
Discover the power of creativity as a path to emotional wellness in the Southside Creative Wellness Group! This 5-week program is designed for youth to explore art, music, writing, and other creative outlets as tools for self-expression, emotional release, and healing.
Each session will focus on a different form of creative expression, with all supplies provided—from paint materials to journals and headphones. Participants will also learn valuable coping mechanisms to help manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges, all in a supportive, judgment-free environment. A light snack will be provided at each session.
This program is open to all youth ages 14 to 18. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by young people of color, particularly in South Minneapolis, we aim to create a space where their experiences are centered and celebrated. Younger participants may be accepted after a meeting with parents and Rajiv Redd, Youth Outreach Coordinator.
Location:
Sabathani Community Center
310 East 38th Street, Minneapolis
Conveniently located on the 23 bus line, with easy access from the 11, 5, and 18 bus lines.
