Art Therapy For Children

 Having a special time and a safe place to be creative, explore big feelings, and talk about whatever you want.
What Is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is a special way of using art-making to help us feel better. It can help us to feel better in ourselves, about ourselves, and about our relationships with other people. There are many types of art-making in art therapy, including colouring, drawing, painting, and constructing.

What are some of the benefits of art therapy?


Art therapy has many benefits. These benefits come from having a special time and a safe place to be creative, explore big feelings, and talk about whatever you want. This could mean you and the art therapist meeting together for one-on-one time. Or, it might mean a group session with other kids in which everyone can help one another in a safe environment.
