JB Empire Arts LLC provides expressive arts healing workshops built on the SELM™ method, Symbolic Emotional Literacy Mapping. Our workshops are structured, facilitated experiences that use art-making, symbol, color, and creative expression to help youth identify and communicate their emotional experience in a safe, supported environment.

These credentials are maintained and verifiable. Organizations are welcome to request documentation of any credential prior to entering a partnership agreement.
