About Art Therapy
What is art Therapy?
"Art therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative
process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and
emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the
belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression
helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal
skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and
self-awareness, and achieve insight."
