Expressive Arts
At GWN, our expressive art groups provide therapeutic support through creative practices. Guided by mental health professionals, these groups offer a space for participants to process challenging personal events, shift perspectives, and address stress and anxiety through artistic expression. The focus is on using creative tools to explore and reframe personal narratives, promoting emotional well-being and personal growth.
Therapeutic Writing Group
In this wellness group, a mental health professional introduces participants to therapeutic writing as a tool to process challenging personal events and feelings, shift perspectives, and counter negative thoughts, stress, and anxiety. Participants also examine and reframe their own personal narratives under the care and guidance of the professional therapist. This studio requires a 1 or 2 cycle commitment (3 – 6 session).
