Trainings

We love educating others on the power of the arts combined with social emotional learning. Our conversations empower youth-serving organizations, educators, and mental health professions to use the simplest tools to create with kids and conduct meaningful conversations. Our goal is to become a hub of resources and knowledge for attendees. All attendees leave with dozens of projects to replicate in their space. If your organization is interested in having us present, in-person or virtually, please contact Mandy Noa at Mandy@paintlove.org
