Art therapy uses art as a means of expression, externalizing and releasing emotions and experiences. For example, for a child who has been bullied at school they may be experiencing tummy issues, difficulty trusting others, withdrawal, trouble sleeping, aggression, or heightened anxiety.

Below I speak to 5 benefits of art therapy for kids.
