ELAN\u2019s ArtEd team is excited to announce our participation in year 2 of a 3-year Youth Mental Health Initiative!<\/strong> The goal of the project is:<\/p>\n

\u201c to improve access to mental health resources and services for young English-speaking Quebecers ages 15 -29 in order to better meet their needs, especially those exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Artists working with youth ages 15 – 29 are invited to participate in ELAN ArtEd learning communities facilitated by Teaching Artist and Social Worker Alyssa Kuzmarov. As Alyssa writes,<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 As Teaching Artists we are often alone, carrying deep emotional experiences the youth share with us, or dealing with conflicts or complicated group dynamics. This is a very meaningful part of our work and yet it is vital to have a space to process those experiences, and to explore enhanced ways of responding to youth. These workshops create a community for Teaching Artists so that we can support each other to learn and grow in our work with youth and as artists.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
