Healing Strokes

Healing Strokes is a Stanford student-led art-based program that facilitates relaxing activities for stroke patients and their caregivers. The class strives to facilitate creative-art based workshops with the goal of cultivating empathy-based communities, mitigating depressive symptoms among stroke survivors, and increasing relief amongst caregivers. Activities range from painting clay pots to simple origami, and everything in between. No prior art experience is necessary to join the class, and patients and caregivers at all parts of the recovery process are welcome.
