Creativity as Self -Care
Who are you?
Steven Thompson
What is your project?
Creativity as Self-Care is a project being completed by Steven Thompson. I am currently the Program Director of a Non-Profit. In that role, I serve students with high-incident disabilities. I am also in a doctoral program, obtaining a doctorate in Special Education. My project is designed to use creativity as a form of self-care to aid me in managing and processing the stressors of running a school and being a doctoral student. I do this by creating content which you can find here on my Website - The Steven Thompson Experience.
Can we see some photos?
Here are some images of my work. The image you see is of my writing process. I am currently working on my third novel. Each night before writing, I read a novel for five minutes. These are some of the works I am reading.
Where can we find your work?
My work goes out into the world regularly. My Youtube Channel has a series of videos designed to help educators deal with stress, a bi-weekly newsletter with worksheets and exercises to work through, and a blog to practice shipping consistently.
My project will be presented at The California Private Schools Conference on August 3rd- The title of the presentation/workshop is- WTF- Why The Frown- Leadership in Times of Crisis, and how to use creativity to enhance your well-being.
