Creative Minds with NAMI NJ

7th-12th Grade

To encourage both knowledge of and access to the benefits of the creative arts, NAMI is introducing Creative Mindsets, an all-in-one boxed kit that contains everything you need to engage young people in mindfulness, reflection, and self-care through creative activities. These activities were designed by a work group of folks with overlapping experience in creativity and mental health, including art therapists, youth program directors, professional artists, and more.
Each kit contains traditional art supplies -- things like markers, paintbrushes, scissors, and tape, as well as multi-media supplies like ribbons, fabric patches, and construction paper. These general supplies are meant to spark creativity and be a place for students to return to and pull from for each of the 5 activities.
