PICTURE GRIEF
PICTURE GRIEF is a therapeutic and creative outlet designed to help young individuals navigate their grief journey. Through the lens of a camera, teens will explore and express their emotions, find solace in capturing moments of beauty, and connect with others who understand their experiences.
In this program, participants will:
1. **Express Emotions Creatively**: PICTURE GRIEF will serve as a medium for self-expression, allowing teens to capture and convey their feelings in a visual format. This process can be both cathartic and empowering.
2. **Build a Supportive Community**: Participants will engage in group sessions where they can share their work, discuss their experiences, and offer mutual support. This sense of community helps reduce feelings of isolation and fosters connections with peers who are going through similar journeys.
3. **Reflect and Heal**: Through guided activities and projects, teens will reflect on their grief, memories, and the healing process. The act of creating and observing their photographs can lead to greater self-awareness and emotional healing.
This program provides a safe and supportive environment for teens to explore their grief, develop new skills, and find a sense of peace and understanding through the art of photography.
Classes will be held Thursdays* from 3:15-5:15pm starting October 3rd thru November 7th.
*There will be no class on Oct 31st
This program is supported by the Ulster County Restorative & Community Empowerment Center.
