7:00pm : Music and Art Therapy

It's not always easy to express your thoughts, emotions, and mental health struggles. That's why some people benefit from therapeutic approaches that promote healing through non-verbal practices like drawing, finger painting, and song. People have been using art and music to express themselves for centuries, but it was first documented as a therapeutic tool to promotehealing in the 1940s. The goal of artistic therapies is to encourage people to open up and engage with their therapist in a less conventional way. By using the arts as a form of expression, some people may feelmore comfortable exploring emotions, managing behaviors, and reconciling conflicts - all of which can reduce stress and boost selfesteem. Artistic forms of therapy are especially helpful for individuals who feel out of touch with their emotions or have difficulty discussing their feelings. Join certified music and art therapists Emily DuPont Peterson and Katy Jaramillo as they share the healing power of the arts
