Social Medium

Social Medium is run by Andrea, a LMSW, and it is her mission, or passion rather, to create a welcoming space for teens to come, be themselves and have support as they want. It aims to provide extra support and encouragement to teens at a price families can afford. At Social Medium, art is used as a medium for promoting mental health, self expression, decreasing isolation, learning new things to reduce boredom, increasing mindfulness, and overall promoting positive well-being. Students can come anytime during drop-In times and stay as long as they want for just $10. Teens can come, talk, hangout, and create for as long as they want to and feel comfortable. Students have access to a ton of stuff that is included in their visit. Not just art supplies, but also we pop fresh popcorn daily, PB&J, a fridge full of water, juice boxes, a variety of pop, carrots, and other snack goodies for their enjoyment. Throughout the school year, Social Medium offers drop-in programs that support teens through creativity, self-expression, conversations, new friendships, reinforced friendships, development of coping skills, and the practice of mindfulness. It also believes this relieves parents from having to plan ahead, or add commitments to an already long list of them.
