YA Young Adult - Above + Beyond CancerArt Therapy Workshop: Tuesday, June 9th from 5:30 to 7:30pm
Mercy One Health & Fitness Center, 12493 University Ave (Clive)
Theme: Decision Fatigue
Decision Fatigue (an impairment of making quality decisions after a long, intense period of decision making) can lead cancer survivors to feeling overwhelmed, procrastination, irritability and fatigue. A cancer diagnosis comes along with all sorts of decisions, big and small; a patient needs to make - sometimes quickly and sometimes heavily. In this Art Therapy Workshop - the art making prompt was intentionally planned to alleviate you from "performance pressure" to make "good art" or "decision burn out" such as selecting what to sketch or paint. The art will be collaging and mood boards, designed to allow patients to receive guidance, support, emotional release, some witty humor, and calming and centering benefits of art-making, without any added pressure. Survivors will leave group feeling supported, validated, comforted, and relaxed.
This Workshop is complimentary to Cancer Survivors and there is no cost. Snacks will be provided.
