The practice of engaging in self-care to ensure your mental and physical
wellness has by its very nature, placed the onus on the individual, without
addressing the underlying structures and practices that can foster this need.
Recognizing that asking individuals to engage in self-care without actively
providing avenues that can fulfill this need, Naomi Binnie, Sheila Garcia, and
Breanna Hamm came together to create the Art Alliance Interest Group. The
Art Alliance is a group that provides open workshops and group sessions
with certified therapists that lead employees from the University of Michigan
(U-M) library in creating art as a form of self-care.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/150684/1/BeyondResilienceNarrative_Poster.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/150684/2/BeyondResilienceNarrative_Zine.pdf-1Description of BeyondResilienceNarrative_Poster.pdf : Main articleDescription of BeyondResilienceNarrative_Zine.pdf : "Additional Learning Object - Zine
