Arts + Mental Health Education
iChoose2live incorporates drama, dance, visual arts, media, and expressive writing throughout the curriculum, working in conjunction with mental health professionals and artists, to develop and present effective lesson plans and outcomes. Our workshops are known for being highly interactive and engaging, encouraging students to reflect on their experience as active participants, as they dive into group discussions.
Our focus is on presenting material that allows students to see themselves in the art based presentations, which are woven into the curriculum. Students receive education, language, and tools around the subject matter, which allows them to analyze, compare, and validate their personal experiences. The self reflections through journaling also provide them with practice articulating their thoughts and emotions.
