“Colors of Resilience: A Creative Healing Journey for Seniors”

Purpose:
To provide a safe, non-clinical space for Senior Citizens, their families, and community members to express, process, and reconnect through various art forms — without judgment or pressure for “artistic skill.”

Core Principles

• Non-judgmental Expression: No critique, grading, or ranking
• Process over Product: Focus on the journey, not the outcome
• Choice & Autonomy: Participants choose materials and level of sharing
• Safe Storytelling: Share only what feels comfortable, avoid graphic details
• Community Connection: Build trust and mutual support
