Art Play Therapy Group
Art Play uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals.
The creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to:
- resolve conflicts and problems
- develop interpersonal skills
- manage behaviour
- reduce stress
- increase self-esteem and self-awareness
- achieve insight
Art is a form of expression that requires little or no verbal interaction which can open
doors to communication and work to improve:
- the ability to imagine and think symbolically
- the ability to recognise and respond to facial expressions
- the ability to manage sensory issues (problems with stickiness, etc.)
- fine motor skills
Fortnightly groups are facilitated by a qualified Art Therapist.
