Art therapy is a powerful tool that can help people explore their emotions and experiences in a safe and creative way. The benefit of a group setting is that it also provides an opportunity for participants to build meaningful connections with other group members. It can be a powerful source of support and understanding.

This group will help clients build inner resiliency through exploring personal expression using the arts. Our aim will be to alleviate depression, soothe anxiety, and create meaningful connections.

Explore your identity in recovery and develop a sense of self-compassion and self-acceptance.  Various identities may be explored including race, ethnicity, color, culture, religion, sex, age, socioeconomic status, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, relationship status, and physical/mental abilities.  Explorations of contextual, cultural, and environmental factors that influence identity and social justice issues will also be a focus of this group. 

Topics will include the critical voice, disability justice, shame resilience, explorations of trauma and family of origin issues, character exploration, and personal meaning.
