Art Therapy is...



"...the application of the visual arts and the creative process within a therapeutic relationship, to support, maintain, and improve the psychosocial, physical, cognitive and spiritual health of individuals of all ages." and "is based on current and emerging research that art making is a health-enhancing practice that positively impacts the quality of life."

Below are two short videos on the healing benefits of art therapy. The first proposes that our approach to medicine and healthcare could be improved by the inclusion of more arts-based practices. The second video includes a brief overview of art therapy and why it is so effective, especially for individuals with a history of trauma.
