Art Technique Life Coaching

Hi, I am Jannetje Owner/Artist/Facilitator of Inkfluence of Art Programs. We are currently running a pilot program called ReBuild, a Therapeutic Art Recovery Program in collaboration with Re/Act Complex trauma and addictions recovery program. It's been 3 months and we are doing really well working with clients helping them meet their goals in recovery.

Now that the pilot is almost completed we would like to branch out in other areas of Art Technique Life Coaching in the community. Our program values the individual's needs and provides both group and one to one support for clients to learn new processing tools to support them in achieving their goals.

Although we are still looking for more collaborative ventures, it would benefit this unique business to have both an online perspective and a place for a drop in. It was a few clients who suggested trying a GoFundMe page and I thought this is worth a try if it is helping people and they are encouraging it's continued progress.

I have owned and operated both an online gallery and art product shop, online as well as a local thrift store gallery since 2013. Artist since a child (I come from an art family) Art is my life, I use art as a therapeutic tool myself. Due to the rise in SUDs in society today I closed down the thrift store shop and educated myself in addictions and community service to add to my current complement of education and background in Mental Health and Intellectual Disabilities 20+ years.

This got me in contact with Patrick (God sent) at Re/Act who saw value in the classes I created and offered me the opportunity to run a pilot program for their clients as well as gain facilitation skills. This has become a great collaboration. I'm hoping it continues for as long as it's effective. Thank you for your time and support.

Funds will be used to start online classes and set up a local drop in art location.
