Child social/emotional development and mitigation of child stress are receiving continued emphasis in the literature. While choice-based group art studios have a long association with mental health, documentation on their potential for supporting children is limited. This article describes an elementary school counseling intervention designed to mitigate child stress and support child social/emotional development through a choice-based studio art group known as ArtBreak. The article explains its fully developed framework, provides information that supports practitioner implementation, presents results of the program, and proposes directions for future research.
