“Springtime always gets people thinking about new beginnings. And lately my attention has been focused on the moms, young children and babies that we see in classes. There are many external needs that these at-risk moms and children have, but who addresses their internal needs? What do these babies need and what do their mothers need, aside from the obvious, to develop into healthy and happy children, youth and then adults? One of the best tools I can think of is the ARTS!”

We are so excited to announce that A.R.T.S. has begun to offer weekly group drumming classes to teen mothers as a special outreach to at-risk youth who are pregnant or who are already young mothers. Our classes began in January 2019 and are run in collaboration with Vanguard High School District 214 and St. Mary’s Services in efforts to provide a holistic way to help these youth cope with pregnancy and motherhood.

Did you know that Group Drumming has been shown to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression? And improve anger management, self-evaluation, attention and social emotional skills? Now that’s something to get excited about! And so is our new Group-Drumming protocol for at-risk youth. If you’ve ever wondered what a group drumming class looks like or to see what else is going on at A.R.T.S., click the link below.
We asked A.R.T.S. parents: “Why is A.R.T.S. important for you and your child?”
