Art With Heart

My name is Safiya, and I made Art With Heart as a community service project aiming to provide accessible art and mental health resources for refugee children. Through activities addressing topics such as self esteem, confidence, emotional regulation, and more, this resource allows children to express their emotions through a creative outlet.

To accomplish the goal of accessibility, this activity book is translated in English, Spanish, and Arabic. Further, I collaborated with non-profit agencies that help refugee and immigrant families transition to life in the US and gave them digital/physical copies of the book.

Through this project I hope to inspire the creation of art, encourage the sharing of stories, and empower others to learn more about the refugee experience.
