In House Student’s Portfolio
Minds Empowered is a youth-led art program exploring mental health and life experiences through creative expression, workshops, and discussion. Featured projects include health awareness posters now on display at The Point.
About
Minds Empowered focused on creating art based on personal experiences with mental health and other life challenges. Students engaged in deep conversations about what it's like to be a teen or young adult in today’s world. During our Black History Month event, they led workshops such as mask-making inspired by African tribal and other cultural traditions. They also hosted a “Deep Talk” workshop where students and The Point staff shared their perspectives on being a teen versus an adult. The final goal for M.E. this year was to create posters about men’s and women’s health, both of which are now on display at The Point.
