Art therapy is an extremely powerful healing modality that uses the process of creating art as a tool for self-discovery and emotional healing.

• art making is healing and life enhancing
• we can more easily express uncomfortable emotions, and work through conflicts, by using
  images in addition to words
• by making art within groups we reduce isolation and enhance communication
• art therapy gives us new perspectives on our problems and at the same time provides an avenue
  to try out new solutions
• through a variety of simple materials, everyone can find comfort and strength
• the art product gives us a clear look at the issues which are sometimes complex or vague,
  making them easier to understand
• art gives us a tangible record of change - documenting our story as it unfolds
