Therapeutic art workshops provide holistic support for the identification of emotions, the development of coping strategies, and help to find creative solutions for problems. This workshop aims to improve physical health as well as mental health. Studies show that the therapeutic art approach contributes to elevating people’s self-esteem, allows them to gain insight and reconcile with their disease, and cultivates the ability to cope with symptoms, increase social functionality, and gain physical and psychological strength.
