ART WITH HEART’S BOOKS & PROGRAMS

All books are available at our ONLINE SHOP. 100% of the proceeds help us reach more children in crisis.

CHILL & SPILL is a guided journal that was designed to:

reduce symptoms of trauma
build resilience and coping skills
promote good decision-making techniques

Chill & Spill combines creative writing with tried and true therapies designed to help youth (ages 11+) facing crisis. It helps bridge the gap between youth in need and the availability of therapists. Art with Heart also offers trainings and supportive curriculum to teach how to utilize the book to reduce the harmful effects of stress.

SKILL-BUILDING WORKSHOPS are available monthly in Seattle that will teach you:

how to help youth focus on the process rather than the end product of art-making
emphasize self-expression, not just technique
use Chill & Spill as the foundation for encouraging self-expression

This training is perfect for educators, therapists, mentors and volunteers who are already working with kids, as well as those who would like to, but need some guidance.

CHILL & SPILL TRAININGS are available to teach you how to effectively use Chill & Spill to help address adolescent issues such as PTSD, depression, anger, etc. Click here for more information.
