Youth Peer Support
Read about our current youth peer support programming!
Eclipse
Weekly on Wednesdays from 4:30-6pm at the Teen Activity Center in Fort Collins (212 Mountain Avenue).
Art is the expressive spectrum that we show our lives through. This is a space for teens ages 13-18 to talk about mental health and create art around their experiences. Whether that’s painting, poetry, photography or something else, at Eclipse, we share our experiences with each other, and create things to represent those experiences. You don’t need to be an artist to join us, and you’re welcome to come and join in the conversation even if you won’t be creating art around it.
Every three months, we will have a theme to explore, with an optional art showcase for folks to share their work around that theme. Check out our youth programming Instagram: @yarrowcollectiveyouth to learn more about current themes!
Whether you join us for one season, or every season, welcome to Eclipse. Every Wednesday, 4:30-6:00 at the Teen Activity Center (212 Mountain Ave, Fort Collins, CO), we’ll discuss topics about mental health, and create some amazing stuff.
