Tea & Empathy Workshop at YAC!

Tea and Empathy Workshop YAC

We were so happy to have YACalum Kate McCombs and Louise Bourchier lead a 'Tea & Empathy' workshop at YAC! It was a skill-building workshop to teach empathy and strengthen communication potential. YACsters learned that being present with other's emotions is the best way to strengthen relationships. As Kate said, "Doing Tea & Empathy with a group of teenage artists was an enlightening experience. I felt tender hearing what's emotionally present in them, remembering what it was like for me at that age. Life is not always easy for creative young people. I felt useful, giving them a tool to process their feelings and support each other. I left them with a deck of the feelings cards to use in the future."
