Art Therapy Creating helps them focus on their islands of competence. Getting into art can help become more resilient. Working on an art project can help provide physical and psychological stabilization. There is no right or wrong way to create art, each person has their own individual expression, it is something that everyone can do and creating move you towards health. The art therapy group is designed to help children learn how to identify and regulate feelings and express them in appropriate ways that do not hurt others.
