The Californer/10240742

AKRON, Ohio - Californer -- The Teen Creative Wellness Project The project is a collaborative effort between the community and esteemed corporate partners, driven by the shared goal of improving creative wellness for underrepresented teens who need it most. This initiative comes at a critical time when the mental health and well-being of teenagers are facing unprecedented challenges. By harnessing the positive impact of creative wellness, the program aims to address the unique needs of teens and promote mental health awareness within the community.

The Teen Creative Wellness Project is made possible through the generous support of our valued sponsors and supporters, including the Kent Area (OH) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, Faber-Castell, The Graphic Artists Guild, Jobs for Ohio's Graduates, and featured facilitator, Creative Wellness Solutions by Dr. Kellie Kirksey. Their commitment to making a difference in the lives of young people is instrumental in the success of this program.

In its inaugural phase, the program will provide comprehensive wellness programming for 18 teenagers in Summit County. These teenagers will have the opportunity to engage in activities and explore various wellness techniques.
