Panel Discussion in Partnership with Sunshine from Darkness
Wednesday, Nov 16, 5:30-7 pm
Discussion will begin at 6 pm sharp.
$5 registration fee

Explore the role art plays in the emotional wellbeing of young people with a panel of experts. Art Center Sarasota will host an informative panel discussion in collaboration with Sunshine from Darkness, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting mental health.

According to the American Art Therapy Association, artistic expression may decrease anxiety, feelings of anger and depression. In addition, the creative process can enhance cognitive abilities, foster greater self-awareness, and help young people regulate their emotions.

  • Neuropsychologist Amie Austin, Ph.D

  • Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist, Ethan Weiss, M.S., L.C.S.W
