Build Resilience with Art
Research shows that children between the ages of 5-12 may exhibit “the most intense feelings” that can translate into PTSD symptoms, 1-3 years after a natural disaster. The recent wildfires that have threatened and devastated portions of Butte County certainly drive home the importance of building resilience in our children now more than ever.
This program focuses on providing a safe avenue for children to process loss, build security, and gain confidence. Although our program targets children impacted by the 2018 Camp Fire, it is important to note that it can be useful for increasing resilience in any child who may be experiencing other life stresses such as COVID-19, racial tensions, and a new wild fire season.
This program is being offered FREE to any children in Butte County. Parents can click this link here to register their children. https://kwiksurveys.com/s/NEz1sczn
