🧠 Mental Health & The Artist: Art-making as Wellness practice: Live Chats on IG Live with Kim Foster Yardley & Erin Candela 🧠

Put a reminder in your calendar for March 31st at 4:30PM, to tune in to the upcoming ''Live Chat'' with Kim Foster Yardley (@thementalgameclinic), a Toronto-based Psychologist and Coach. As an artist herself, Kim can speak to some of the specific experiences faced by creative workers, with regards to mental health, and will be sharing some of her thoughts and insights in a series of short conversations with facilitator and Akin staff Erin Candela.

Our first Live Chat will be looking at Art-Making As A Wellness Practice & Tool. With other topics to come, such as Making Art For Arts Sake, and Articulating A Shared Experience, these Chats With Kim are a casual way to open-up and highlight some common issues that arise for artists. These last two years have been particularly rough! We look forward to welcoming Kim in the upcoming weeks and hope that you'll join us.
