Heart At Home: Healing and education through the arts

School closings, sick friends and family members, isolation at home – these and other factors can cause confusion, fear, and stress for children during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and its aftermath. Caring adults can help children to process stress and feel supported through simple everyday activities that promote relaxation, creative self-expression, and positive communication.

The purpose of HEART activities is not to teach children how to make art – the purpose is to give children a chance to express themselves, however they like, and for that expression to be met with support and understanding from caring adults.
