Art Therapy for Youths: Exploring and Managing Expectations

Youth comes with its own unique set of challenges, including the juggling of various expectations from parents/guardians, school, friends, and one's own self. This art therapy workshop aims to guide youths aged 11 to 14 in exploring the expectations that they face using concepts from art therapy and reflecting on the emotions associated with these emotions, as well as their strengths, using colours and sensorial therapy.

Hands-on art creation will be practised in this workshop using crayons, markers, food colouring and other art materials to deliver the concepts being taught.

This programme is for youths aged 11 to 14.
