The end of June saw some of the care homes who had participated in our 'Beyond Words: Art Therapy for older adults project' celebrating the end of their first term with a display of their artwork.
Art therapist, Helen Cooper says:
"The group evolved throughout the 10 weeks and by the end there was cooperation, thoughtfulness and encouragement demonstrated by all the group members.
One particular client always expressed gratitude at the end of each session and the artworks speak for themselves.
I am looking forward to the next 2 terms to see what magic the residents can come up with in the creative and therapeutic space of the art therapy group."
