Art Therapy Group for People with Dementia Coventry
About Art Therapy Group for People with Dementia Coventry
Art therapy group for older people experiencing memory loss, mental health and associated difficulties, such as social isolation. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media as its primary mode of expression and communication. Within this context, art is used as a medium to address emotional issues which may be confusing and distressing. Image-making is very helpful for maintaining brain function. The social aspect of the group is helpful. People who have enjoyed making art before a dementia diagnosis tend to get most out of the group. People with no prior experience of art may struggle to engage with image-making processes. The art therapy group is not an art class.
