Artemisia’s Toolkit
Artemisia’s Toolkit is here to help student survivors establish their own survivor-based art programs at their college or university. Modeled after Project Artemisia’s expressive arts healing workshops, this toolkit will provide leaders with step-by-step instructions to promote mental health resources to their peers. It is organized into four different categories: Supporting Yourself, Partnerships, Logistics, Activities. Survivorship does not make us powerless. With Artemisia’s Toolkit, survivors can feel empowered to heal and help others.

Things to Note
- This toolkit is intended to be used by survivors with the intent of serving survivors. The work done here is, to be blunt, emotionally challenging. Before getting into this work, ensure that you have a support system in place, be it a counselor, friend, or mentor.
- The tools provided here are loose guidelines. Not all that is written may apply to the work that you want to do. Take what you need and leave the rest.
- Organizing workshops can be costly. This toolkit will provide a range of options for organizing within your budget.
- Be authentic. Be flexible. Be prepared.
