優しさ、自己愛、自信のワークショップ：クリエイティブライティングとソーシャルグループ

In this ongoing course, students can feel free to join in at anytime (as content does not build and is stand-alone each week). Each week students will receive a new "challenge" assignment that will help build their creativity and also their self-confidence through a series of writing and expansion of other artistic skills. 

Teaching style is fun, supportive, immersive, engaging, kind, and compassionate. All students are welcome! 

Class structure is summarized as follows: Class begins with a brainstorming session and a review of the previous week's challenge assignment, a discussion on the new topics or new definitions that are presented, short video clips and powerpoints on the weekly topic using approved youtube media and google docs slide presentations, time to think/free-write/socialize, and then followed with the new weekly assignment. Class material is presented in the form of unique teacher-created games to keep students engaged. 

The class topics/schedule is listed below: [this class is not a form of therapy or group therapy, or replacement for mental health resources; it is not a cure for diagnosed disorders such as anxiety or depression. This class is simply an exploration into self expression through artistic creation and expansion]
