Crystal, 21 takes art classes every Monday as a part of our outreach program with Community Entry Services. She explains that this is way for her to spend quality time with her birth mother, who also participates in the class.

"Life is less stressful with time for me to unwind here. It takes my mind off of things," she said. Her favorite memories with art teacher Amanda Martin are beading, painting and drawing projects. After class, Crystal brings her skills back home and works on her own Sharpie illustrations.
