ART THERAPY

Art therapy is a form of self exploration that involves the encouragement of free self-expression through painting, drawing, or modelling, used as a remedial activity.

Art Therapy is an integrative mental health that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, a creative process to connect us to ourself and help us to experience and discover our deeper self.

Art Therapy is used to improve cognitive functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, reduce and resolve conflicts and distress, and advance societal and ecological change. Art therapy can help individuals seeking emotional, creative, and spiritual growth.

Through integrative methods, art therapy engages the mind, body, and spirit in ways that are distinct from verbal articulation alone to invite alternative modes of receptive and expressive communication, which can circumvent the limitations of language. Visual and symbolic expression gives voice to experience, and empowers individual, communal, and societal transformation.
