Express Yourself!

Expressive Art Therapy

Sometimes the easiest way to express yourself is using the visual.
Children and teens who have emotional, psychiatric, and behavioral problems, or who just find themselves feeling isolated, can cast a net towards self expression, and find the therapeutic benefits of art.

Often we can see the effects of a childs life through the prism of their art work. What one finds a hard time putting into words, the brush can reveal more easily. The darkness can come to light, and the light can reflect hopes and dreams so impatiently struggled for.

A child can shine their light through art, like a flashlight searching the darkness, the final achievement being self worth.

Open to troubled kids and teens in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
