Background: Children in rural communities represent some of the most vulnerable populations in Canada, posing implications for their mental health and well-being, particularly regarding their access to mental health services. Art-based interventions are accessible, but not thoroughly validated. Aim:The purpose of this project was to offer an art-based intervention for a very specific population benefiting from an after-school program in rural Quebec. Methods: Youth in Quebec, Canada, took part in a 7-week art-based intervention. A descriptive design was implemented to examine the implications this intervention had on students, particularly their mental health and well-being. Results:The majority of students described enjoying the intervention, many stating it had a positive impact on their lives. Students reported feeling positively during art-making and expressed interest in taking part in follow-up research. Discussion: Positive experiences with the present intervention support existing literature regarding the effectiveness of art-based methods for youth populations.
