Materials will be provided and there is no charge to participate. Register by calling Amos at 574-364-2673.  

Art therapy is the creative therapeutic process that involves using various materials under the guidance of an art therapist. It can be helpful for people who are experiencing chronic illness or other challenges. Through the reflective process of creating an art form, the participant may experience increased self awareness, enhanced cognitive ability or relief from stress.

Under the guidance of Art Therapy intern Kortney Malone, patients and their care givers may now schedule one-to-one art therapy sessions to explore the creative arts process to promote personal well being. Malone is pursuing a Master’s degree in Creative Arts Therapy through the Pratt Institute, New York.

All Art therapy sessions take place at the Goshen Center for Cancer Care and offer a personalized approach to your treatment needs. No cost, one hour sessions are available through May 2012 by calling 574.364.2673.
