Art Therapy
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art as a way to communicate. It allows the child to use art materials for self expression in a safe environment, using art instead of spoken words. We have an Art Therapist who visits us to provide sessions with the babies, to work with them to try and help them, as they may find it difficult or scary to express themselves and deal with the challenges that they face. This is particularly true for babies who generally have limited or no vocabularies. Children are naturally creative, and it is usually easier for them to draw a picture as opposed to answering questions directly. They may be reluctant or even hostile about discussing certain topics but creating artwork is a non-threatening venue that allows them to tackle tough issues in a creative way.
