ScrapsKC's mission is to care for Kansas City's environment, education, and homeless through creative reuse. Since their founding in 2016, they have diverted over 12 tons of materials from the landfill. They reuse, repurpose, and renew donated used and excess supplies and materials that are sold in their store and used in a variety of classes, workshops, festivals, and for drop-in creations. Volunteer opportunities are available for the homeless population.
Masks are required while indoors and it is strongly recommended that participants are vaccinated.

Objectives:
Participants will be able to identify characteristics of cultural humility and cultural identity that may surface in the clinical setting/therapeutic space.
Participants will be able to implement strategies to address complex issues related to diversity within cultures.
Participants will create self-reflective work that will help them identify personal biases and obstacles to compassion.

A table of art supplies will be available to use for art-based experiences.
You are welcome to bring additional art supplies (except glitter!) for personal use.
