Spirit Animal Survival Kit

Mackenzie Fitzgerald

How might we empathize and explore our emotions with cancer survivors?

I am focusing on the well-being of cancer survivors. I am trying to create a safe place for survivors and their family and friends to be able to process and share their emotions. Many people know someone very near and dear to them that has or had cancer, it is a tough time and people deal with it very differently. Having a creative and safe space for people to express themselves is important, and I am making that happen.

The Spirit Animal Survivor Kit is designed to be an event for cancer survivors to share their emotions with their friends and family members. The Spirit Animal Survivor Kit activity is an opportunity for you a survivor and their family members to create pieces of art that communicate feelings and experiences through art therapy. It is a chance to convey what a survivor feels and felt, physically and emotionally, through modifying a stuffed animal.
