Community & Canvas: Art Peer Support Group

You give so much. Give back to yourself: free, peer-led, prevention-focused art with music, art history, and a new project each session. You give so much to the students and communities you serve. This is a free, standing invitation to give something back to yourself. Burnout doesn’t happen all at once. It builds quietly when we give more than we refill. These sessions are designed as prevention: a regular place to pause, breathe, and recharge before you’re running on empty. Each session is a calm, welcoming space to slow down and create. We open with a short look at an artist or art movement from history, then dive into a new project inspired by it. Music plays throughout, setting the mood for each piece. You’ll paint, journal, and take time to breathe, with gentle prompts that connect creativity to calm, joy, and mindfulness. The goal is a finished painting on canvas, but remember: done is better than perfect. • Free creative peer support and wellness space • Designed for educators, school staff, and youth-serving professionals • Meets every other Thursday, 6:00 to 7:30 PM • Paint, journal, connect, and recharge • All art supplies included • No artistic experience necessary • Not therapy or clinical treatment • Burnout prevention through creativity, rest, and mindfulness • In partnership with School Care Team & Pillar Yoga & Wellness We welcome you to join our creative community!
