Peer-Led Art Therapy – Johnston County Library

May 14, 2026

When Christina Tabor was diagnosed with breast cancer on August 14, 2023, her life was forever changed. Navigating the emotions of a cancer diagnosis is extremely overwhelming and difficult. Tabor struggled for many months with isolation and loneliness, before she found an outlet for those feelings. Tabor’s turning point came when she joined UTSW Surviving to Thriving Through Art Cancer Workshop. This cancer community art group helped Tabor find a path to healing – a path where creativity became a companion when words fell short.

Johnston County Library is offering this program as part of a health literacy grant from the Oklahoma Department of Libraries (ODL). The program is funded in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
