About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Join us this February for FREE online talks by psychologists, exploring how to build stronger relationships and resilience in times of change.


Creative and artistic practices sustain us - they feed our hope and our imagination, help us make meaningful connections with ourselves and one another, and encourage creativity that can be applied in many areas of life. Finding avenues for inspiration and authentic self-expression is even more important in times of uncertainty and change. In this fun talk that fuses positive psychology with artistic themes, we will discuss how creative practices can help support our individual and community mental health and wellness, resilience, and relationship health.
