At the Clay Center, we often stress the importance of creativity for supporting healthy youth development and community relationships. So, we’re thrilled to have socially engaged multimedia artist Elisa H. Hamilton join Gene and Steve in today’s episode! Elisa is a visiting artist with the Clay Center. Since January, she’s been developing a project to help everyday families and communities become more aware of and engage with young people around issues of mental health. All of this using art as the entryway to these conversations. Tune in for more and stay tuned for the launch of her project in Fall 2019! Thank you for joining in this conversation. Have questions or ideas you’d like to share about art and mental health? Write to us at mghclaycenter@partners.org! We’d love to hear from you. Media List Creativity Gives Our Brains a Boost (MGH Clay Center) Elisa H.
