This interactive workshop will explore how trauma-informed care and strengths-focused arts practices can be powerful tools for mentoring and community engagement. Drawing on Path with Art’s 17 years of experience working with systems-impacted individuals and the latest research in Arts & Health, facilitators James Miles and Nikki Visel will guide participants through reflection, discussion, art exercises, and mini-lectures that model their unique approach to arts programming.

Participants will leave with practical strategies to:

• Build inclusive and accessible learning environments
• Strengthen community through creativity and connection
• Empower youth and communities with trauma-informed support

Join us to learn, create, and expand your mentoring practice through the arts.
