ART THERAPY

The individuals who will take part and benefit from this Art Therapy course are all participating in a substance misuse structured rehabilitation day programme currently offered by Kickstart.

Art Therapy is a proven method of engaging with someone's emotions. The rehabilitation process can often be an emotional time, generating feelings which may be difficult to control. This Art Therapy is a proven method for the individual to channel emotion in order to bring about a positive attitude. The activity has a healing benefit as well as the end result. In addition, the piece of art created can trigger physical, emotional and social healing.

Through these workshops, the individual will also learn about the history of art and gain further knowledge and appreciation of the many different forms. As a result, this should increase their respect and understanding of contemporary and traditional art, and in the future help them integrate more in the cultural sectors.

If you would like to make a financial contribution to this project or have any unused art materials or equipment to donate, please email fundraising@kickstartsheffield.org.
