Art Based Wellness
Students at Culbreth Middle are exploring art, mindfulness, and social-emotional learning in a year-long, arts-based mental health program funded by PSF. In small-group, trauma-informed sessions, they find calm, connection, and self-expression in a safe space.
“Sometimes their home lives are stressful, but they really seem to enjoy expressing themselves through art and getting to be kids,” said art therapist Bridget Pemberton-Smith.
This program is just one way PSF supports arts and mental health, helping students build resilience, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
