Art Therapists will use the appropriate approach and methods when considering how experiences have shaped an individual and facilitate growth and change.
As people age their lives change considerably. Their independence is fading away and dependency on others is essential. Art Therapy can help with the challenges that aging brings by helping to develop better coping strategies.
The Art Therapist will work alongside carers and other professionals in becoming an integral part of the older adults care plan.
