Coping 101: Blooming through Art w/ Cristina Martinez

Coping 101

C89.5 fm presents Coping 101: Blooming through Art w/ Cristina Martinez - part of a student-hosted series capturing Artist Mental Health Stories. The Tacoma-born, Seattle-based artist - and soon-to-be mother of three - uses her work to amplify voices of women and celebrate the often untold stories of black and brown people. In this episode Cristina discusses parenting, the power of art and therapy in handling emotions like loneliness or grief, and digs into her recurring theme of blooming to express the journey we all take toward our most authentic selves. With support from 4Culture and Seattle Children's, Coping 101's Artist Mental Health Stories amplify voices from King County's cultural sector to empower individual artists, uplift the creative community and destigmatize mental health from a teen's perspective. No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are many healthy ways to find balance. Get started with more episodes and vital resources hosted at c895.org/coping101
