Expressive Arts Therapy is an approach used with people of all ages and is a client-centered counselling method that combines talk psychology with various art modalities cultivating emotional health and well-being, self expression, moments of insight and is a resource focused approach.

Meet Danielle at her table in the upper cafeteria on Wednesday, November 22 to learn more about expressive arts therapy, and see if this therapy style might be a good fit for you. During this meet & greet, she will be hosting a small drop-in style activity for students to try - no previous arts experience required. All students welcome.
