Creative Arts Workshops
A creative space for young people to explore self-expression, develop emotional awareness, and build resilience through various artistic mediums in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
Beyond The Surface
Beyond The Surface is an art-based experience where participants explore their identity through the creation of masks using the Tree of Life methodology.

Guided by a senior art therapist, the workshop offers a safe space for reflection and self-expression, helping participants connect with their emotional world while exploring themes of identity and vulnerability.
Key Goals:
- Explore and express personal identity
- Encourage self-reflection through creative expression
- Provide a safe, therapeutic space for emotional exploration
