Innovative 8-week Self-Portrait Puppet for Youth!

WP Puppet Theatre's VIEW from the Inside Program is an award-winning program with the goal to empower youth, help to reduce the stigma of mental health issues, and build a sense of community in life’s challenges.

Within the carefully curated safety of the group, led by our accredited art therapists and teachers, mainstream, BIPOC, special needs and/or LGBTQ2S+ students benefit from creative arts therapies.
