Learn More About Art Therapy
To dive deeper into the practice and benefits of Art Therapy, we recommend visiting the American Art Therapy Association’s website. It provides comprehensive information about how art can be a powerful tool for emotional healing and self-expression. Art Therapy Credentials Board, Riley Children's Health website, and Psychology Today are also necessary resources to learn more about what art therapy is, who art therapy benefits, and the right time to begin.
