art therapy
Individual counselling and group workshops led by an art therapist for youths 5 to 17 years of age that have a parent or another person they care about struggling with a mental health problem. The approach used combines the use of verbal expression and artistic creation to explore issues specific to the youths and their needs. Among other things, it enables the child to express their emotions and reflect on their experience via various art techniques, such as drawing, painting, collage, and modelling. Artistic talent is not required.
