Art therapy for Adults / Art-thérapie pour adultes

In art therapy group, participants use artistic expression as a therapeutic tool to explore their emotions, improve mental well-being, and address personal challenges. The process of creating art—whether through painting, drawing, or sculpting—enables individuals to visualize and confront feelings that may be difficult to articulate verbally. By focusing on art making rather than the final product, participants can engage with their emotions in a non-threatening way, which can lead to greater self-awareness and insight into their personal struggles and foster a supportive environment where individuals can freely express themselves and develop new coping strategies.
