The Science Behind Art Therapy
Our Approach
For Stroke Survivors:
- Art movements help rebuild neural pathways and improve motor skills
- Creative expression reduces depression and isolation common during recovery
- Non-traditional rehabilitation feels enjoyable rather than clinical
- Community connection provides emotional support and motivation
For Children with Congenital Heart Defects:
- Creative activities provide emotional outlets for complex feelings
- Art therapy helps children process their medical experiences
- Group participation builds confidence and social connections
- Joyful experiences create positive memories beyond hospital settings
