Art Therapy Workshops
In March 2023, RIYAC hosted art therapy workshops dedicated to refugee and immigrant youth experiences in a post-COVID-height world. Before this project, council members conducted interviews within their community, regarding the behavioral health effects faced following the height of COVID-19.
After collecting this data, RIYAC members hosted these art therapy workshops, led by the Pratt Fine Arts Center, to help young people express themselves and process their mental health.
