OUR MISSION
Maketh is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides art therapy to individuals and groups in need of mental health services. With the help of our supporters, we partner with local businesses, municipalities, universities, museums, and specialists to foster resilience, self-assurance, and problem-solving skills.
WHO WE SERVE
CHILDREN
Children are not always taught healthy coping skills and from an early age can begin developing coping mechanisims that can follow them into adulthood. By teaching children how to express themselves in a healthy way we hope to prepare the future generation with tools to thrive.
ELDERLY
Generations of adults have feared the stigmatazation of mental health care; making many aging adults exceptionally vulnerable as life circumstances change and their ability to cope may need to adapt. We believe engaging our clients in non-traditional therapy can illustrate the effectiveness of building therapeutic tools.
UNHOUSED
Being unhoused takes a toll on ones mental health and exasterbates existing conditions. We support our clients with accessible skill sets and approachable methods to promote personal wellbeing and community building through. We meet our clients where they are and work to support their needs.
VETERANS
The stigma of mental health care impacts many communities, veterans especially. Veteran’s experience trauma and loss at a high rate and not intrinsically given a tool set to cope with these emotions. We at Maketh embrace the process and fit programing to suit the needs of our honored service members.
HOW WE WORK
THERAPISTS
We work with licensed art therapists to guide, inform, and endorse programing. We take health seriously; and if at any time a client presents with symptoms best suited for a licensed therapist, we have contacts ready to assist those with higher need.
PARTNERSHIPS
Maketh partners with local businesses, municipalities, universities, museums, and experts to bring the highest level of experience, skill sets, and facilities to our clients.
WORKSHOPS
Our monthly workshops are held in group settings, open to the public and offer a guided experience, including grounding exercises, internal exploration and the opportunity to discuss the process with peers.
