It’s National Arts & Health Day! Today, we’re celebrating the power of the arts to heal, connect, and uplift:

“Especially when people are struggling, facing a challenge, or even a health crisis —their own words or language fail them. During these times, an art therapist can help clients express themselves in ways beyond words or language. Art therapists are trained in art and psychological theory and can help clients integrate nonverbal cues and metaphors that are often expressed through the creative process.”
