Our Expressive Arts program, which was launched in 2014, brings the therapeutic power of the arts to clients in our San Mateo County residential homes through weekly workshops. The program features teaching artists Michael Collopy and Maikel Garcia. Together, Michael Collopy, a world-renowned photographer, and Maikel Garcia, a well-known Cuban jazz musician, bring art, music, humor, and joy to clients experiencing and recovering from behavioral health conditions. The workshops present art, writing, and music as positive coping mechanisms, outlining how creative expression can promote long-term mental wellness.
