Art of Wellbeing for Veterans and Their Families
Mental Health Connecticut (MHC), in partnership with Homes for the Brave, will present the Art of Wellbeing for Veterans and Their Families. Art of Wellbeing is an evidence-based and award-winning program that weaves together introductions to both art and mental health. The project will provide two, eight-week trauma-informed workshops to veterans and their families at the Homes for the Brave Annex in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Over the course of the workshop, individuals will draw, write, explore movement and dance, drum, and paint. Individuals will find healing as they explore how creative expression leads to good health and how the act of being well is a form of art in itself.
