Benefits of Group Art Therapy for Kids

Emotional Regulation

Children will be able to explore a range of materials and learn about which sensory qualities help with emotional regulation.

Self Esteem

Art making in a supportive environment helps children to express and share who they are and build healthy self-esteem and positive self image.

Social Confidence

Group sharing of artwork and working together supports practicing social skills and growing confidence in social environments.

Self Expression

Making art supports expression of thoughts and feelings. The art also acts as a communication tool to help kids grow their verbal expressiveness.
