TESTIMONY

ART FOR HEALING

“Children see the world around them with a different lens than we do as adults. Art, when used as therapy, is part of nonverbal communication for children who may not be able to articulate their emotions and feelings. Art in healing spaces has been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, pain and length of stays. We don’t underestimate its lasting positive effects in a hospital, particularly on young patients. It’s a powerful tool we have in our toolbox.”
St John’s Health, Jackson Hole, WY

TESTIMONY

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL

"Your expressive art books allow our students a safe way to reflect and express their thoughts and emotions. The reflection questions turn their focus inward and they learn to reflect upon aspects of their lives that they don’t normally think about such as peace, their hopes and dreams, and how nature plays an important role in all of our lives. They love being able to color a beautiful page while we talk about the reflection topics. This provides a very safe and non-threatening way for me to have open conversations with my students so I can support them on their social emotional journey."
Papahana O Kaiona-Waianae School, Oahu Hawaii

TESTIMONY

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

“Our school has a high trauma population and we are committed to providing resources to support youth development. Your expressive art activity books provide our students a tool for learning that honors a culture of creativity, inclusion and personal enrichment. As a counselor, I love to use creativity as a regulating strategy for our students. The reflective questions in your expressive art coloring activity books ask important questions in fostering hope and healing in the lives of children and youth. They also cultivate personal growth to help them discover that their life matters. The questions provide a mentoring resource to help them explore their unique experiences, interests and dreams so they realize how they can make a difference in this world in a meaningful way.”
Riffenburgh Elementary, Colorado

  • FOR ALL AGES

    The books are created to meet children and youth where they are. They are simple enough you can adapt it for elementary age yet deep enough the middle school age and high school teens can go on a deeper journey of personal enrichment and growth.

  • FOR COUNSELORS

    Art, when used as therapy, is part of nonverbal communication for children who may not be able to articulate their emotions and feelings. The coloring opens up a window into their heart and the reflection creates a safe way to start important conversations.

  • FOR TEACHERS

    Teachers often use these books as a "soft start" for the day. There are 20 key reflective themes that make it easy to focus on one theme per week. This is a tool you can also use for personal enrichment and growth that is easy to flow into your overall planning.
