Dwellness offers both individual and group therapy to their program participants.
Testimonial from Colin Murfree, Program Manager:
“Offering mental health service and resources to our students is something we have wished to do for years, but never been able to make work prior to partnering with Dwellness. The work with Dwellness helped students locally in the Bronx, and virtually when away at school. Their flexibility and willingness to come along side our programming and mission rather than to simply impose their own has really set them apart from other organizations we've looked to partner with in the past. We have come to really appreciate their regular presence, professionalism, and willingness to engage and connect with each student. As is often the case, we have seen students vote with their feet. Even when engagement in our own program wanes from time to time we have seen our students continue their weekly commitment to the Dwellness team, simply because they derive such value from each session. Once the work began, organically, amongst the students, the word started to spread and before we knew it, we had more students expressing interest in joining and several even that now considered therapy for the first time. We can't thank them enough for the support they have offered our students and hope to continue and grow our partnership for years to come!"
Dwellness is partnering with Developing Artists (DA) to offer mental health services to their students and staff. Developing Artists teaches undervalued teens to fight relentlessly for positive social change through practical application of the performing arts. They empower culturally and socioeconomically diverse students to proclaim themselves as artists and activists, find their place and their connection in their community, and bring about positive social change through participation in the arts. DA accompanies them in processing their emotions, using the arts as a means to process trauma, and building confidence and independence.
A quote from DA’s Artistic Director, Jill DeArmon, and Executive Director, Jinn S. Kim:
"Developing Artists has been eager to find a way to make culturally competent mental health services and resources accessible to our students for many years. We are ecstatic to be collaborating with Dwellness! Now we can finally offer our students both group and individual support in processing the expanse of feelings that undoubtedly come up for them when they are creating art and grappling with both systemic and personal issues. Additionally, we are grateful to have Dwellness hosting psychoeducational workshops for our staff so that we can learn how to better honor our self-care in the context of our community care. We are very much looking forward to developing a burgeoning partnership!"
