Helping Hands Mural

During the Spring and Summer of 2023, a series of workshops for young people explored murals as an artistic medium, the significance of culture and identity and examined what it means to "give back." Recurring themes such as kindness, nature, and hope were identified and informed the mural's design, which was then scaled to the wall and painted by the young people.

Resources & Resilience 

Across eight weeks, 16 free art and wellness workshops for young people took place. Each class encouraged free self-expression through painting, drawing, or modelling. Exercises that built personal development and well-being skills such as optimism, self-confidence, gratitude, hope, empathy, and self-compassion were also included. Each lesson also explored and promoted the resources available within the community and national level to support good mental health.
