Art therapy utilises art-making in a supportive space to express emotions and thoughts that may be difficult to put into words. No art experience is needed when engaging in art therapy, because it is predominantly about the process of making rather than the product. Art therapy promotes resilience as it is a strengths-based form of therapy. This can assist with facilitating feelings of empowerment over one's life experiences, as well as gaining new perspectives over one's worldview. It also harnesses the power of imagination and play to gently unpack difficult experiences, and also to strengthen the creative self.
