The Student Recreation & Wellness Center’s Beach Balance program is here to provide the Long Beach State community with health and wellness services to enhance the quality of life through mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

An easy way Beach Balance promotes holistic wellness is by providing various resources for members that are readily available and easy to do -- like art therapy!

Art therapy is one of Beach Balances key offerings and originally started off as a monthly event. Due to increased popularity, it has now become a regular weekly program.

Art therapy is a fun and therapeutic way to distract your mind from everyday school, work and life stresses while opening up the opportunity to exercise your individual creativity. It is a simple way to remove your mind from any present chaos or hectic feelings and find your way into a more relaxed state of being.

Knowing that art comes in all different shapes, forms and mediums, Beach Balance makes sure to provide various tools such as coloring pages, paint, markers, crayons and Play-Doh for everyone to use. No need to worry about bringing your own materials!

Come join us at the Beach Balance Wellness Room every Tuesday between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to rejuvenate and explore your own creative outlets and check out some of the beautiful art past participants have created.
