How one school uses art therapy to help students struggling with mental health

Students at Smoky Hill High School de-stress in its "Zen Den" - a dedicated room open to anyone to have a quiet moment. It's part of that district's push to improve its mental health services.

Art has been excluded from American schools like it's useless. It can really help kids express their negative emotions in a positive way and make a huge impact when it comes to children's mental health issues.

This is great! As a Art therapist, I think we need one Art therapist per school who is able to provide all the mental health services with art with welcoming, non judging environment. It leads to a healing pathway and empower each student to navigate their mental health journey. Everyone has mental health to take care of.
