Over the years we have encountered youth with troubled backgrounds who desperately need and seek mental health treatment. We have found that creating safe spaces where youth can speak openly about their experiences has created a deeper sense of understanding and respect amongst peers along with a sense of comfort and acceptance. Self Care Retreat The practice of self care has become normalized but many fail to realize how this practice is actually a privilege that many underserved youth fail to experience. We instill that self care and rest. We introduced this habitually by creating retreats for our youth to physically practice such as nature and camping trips. These trips allowed our youth artists to create in refreshing and calm environments outside of the city.
