Exploring Emotions Through Art
Art therapy offers a unique way to process emotions, relieve stress, and build self-awareness—all without needing the “right words.” Whether participants are creating for the first time or returning to a forgotten hobby, this peer-led group invites individuals to explore healing through color, texture, and form. Every session encourages creative exploration in a safe, judgment-free environment.
About the Art Therapy Group
This peer-led group is open to individuals of all experience levels who are interested in using art as a tool for self-expression and emotional exploration. Each session introduces simple, approachable art activities designed to reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and foster a sense of connection.
You don’t need to consider yourself an artist to benefit. The focus is on the process—not the product. Through guided projects and open-ended creativity, participants are encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings in a non-verbal and empowering way.

What to Expect During a Session
Each session begins with a brief welcome and an introduction to that week’s creative activity. The group might explore mediums such as painting, sketching, collage, or journaling prompts. No special materials or experience are required—just a willingness to try something new.
The goal is to create a calming space where individuals can express emotions visually, reflect through art, and share (if they choose) in a supportive environment. Participants often report feeling more grounded, relaxed, and connected after each session.
