Art therapy is simply a creative form of therapy. You don’t need to be a great artist; you just need an imagination and an open mind!

This approach can be used for self exploration and healing painful memories, but also for pure enjoyment and recreation. In this course there are modules to cover all of these.

Therapeutic art can also be a very powerful tool for family bonding, allowing family members to communicate and appreciate each other more.

Further, art therapy can be extremely useful for children who may have experienced bullying or trauma. It provides a safe sanctuary to share feelings and emotions.

Therapeutic and creative self expression can improve physical and mental wellbeing, as well as emotional health.
