Creative Wellbeing & Youth in Corrections

Healing-centered arts training for young people navigating detention, re-entry, or family incarceration.


Creative Wellbeing pairs community-based organizations with temporary housing shelters to provide filmmaking, animation, music production, and visual journaling to systems-impacted youth and families.

Youth In Corrections brings our teaching artists to juvenile halls and camps to provide professional development and self-expression drop-in classes.

Teaching artists open each class with brief mindfulness exercises before guiding participants through hands-on projects that translate personal stories into short films, stop-motion pieces, digital murals, or beats. Participants are led through a tailored and culturally responsive curriculum to increase their socio-emotional learning and sense of belonging.

Throughout these County-sponsored programs, Justice for My Sister is able to provide workshops for early childhood, transitional age youth, and the adults who serve them. We emphasize non-violent communication, the experiential learning cycle, and transformative justice.
