What is Arts Therapy?
Arts therapy presents an evidence-based therapeutic approach to healing, reaching diverse groups of clients across all ages, abilities, and challenges. It is particularly beneficial for those who may find it challenging to engage in more traditional ‘talk therapies’. This includes children, adolescents, trauma survivors, individuals with disabilities, those with language difficulties, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
