The self-compassion art discovery workshop will guide participants to connect with the different parts of themselves through visual art and mindful techniques as well as teach them ways to befriend these different parts. The goal of the workshop is to connect with one’s self in a nurturing and caring way and becoming more skilled at moving past inner judgement.

These will be small, intimate group sessions designed specifically for Persons with Disabilities, through JobStart's Peer Employment Mentoring program.
