Creative Expression for Self-Care

Creative Expression for Self-Care is a virtual, community-oriented art therapy group designed to support mental health, self-reflection, and connection through creative exploration.
Led by student art therapists (under the supervision of Registered Clinical Art Therapists / RCATs), each weekly session offers group members an opportunity to engage in art-based prompts aligned with therapeutic goals, followed by opportunities for optional sharing and reflection.
