Kiwassa Neighbourhood House runs an art therapy program for pre-teens in East Vancouver.

Issues like self-esteem, identity and bullying can pose challenges for kids. Kiwassa encourages them to work it out through art. They offer individual and group therapy programs, thanks to funding from Vancouver Foundation.

Not only is it lots of fun, it helps pre-teens get out of their head and express what might be too difficult to say in words.
