Art Therapy has been used for many years as an effective tool for helping people work through psychological issues or trauma, however in recent years, we have seen an uptake in utilizing concepts from Art Therapy as a strong social activity for Seniors.
Seniors who are active physically or artistically had better health results, fewer doctors visits, and required less medication.
Art Therapy can be a way to not only unleash creativity, but to discover yourself from within, and to explore situations, circumstances, or experiences that have occurred in your life.
Not all individuals have access to an Art Therapist, however in general, artistic activities and regular participation (going to museums, painting, singing, going for a walk) are all very beneficial in helping a senior de-isolate and also exercise a different part of the brain.
