Is Art Therapy for kids?

Did you know walking is a form of stress relief?

Activities that engage both sides of the body in rhythmic, alternating movement can have a relaxing effect. This is known as bilateral stimulation.

While walking is not accessible for everyone, it can be a useful activity for many who are seeking an opportunity to reduce stress.

Do you take walks to relieve stress?

Is Art Therapy only for artists?

This is a common myth.
Art therapy can benefit a wide range of people including those without previous experience or expertise in art. Art therapy does not aim to form judgements about the aesthetic quality of art, but uses the artistic process to support emotional growth.

Client confidentiality is a significant consideration of art therapy practice.

The Art Therapy Credentials Board (USA) guides how to treat client information, including in circumstances where a client or others are in immediate and serious danger.

Here in Trinidad and Tobago, the Data Protection Act of 2011 also outlines privacy principles that protect personal information and sensitive personal information.

As an art therapist, it is my role to help clients understand their right to a confidential mental health service and to discuss circumstances where disclosure is necessary.
