Description

During the meetings of this project, art therapy and yoga were paired to give resources to the children in order to teach them to manage their emotions. Subsequently, a card game exploring various themes such as solace, calm and superpowers was created from the works produced.

The central council of the Society of Saint-Vincent de Paul of Montreal and the SSVP service point of Saint-Justin warmly thank the Caisse Desjardins de Mercier-Est-Anjou for its financial support, which made this project possible.
