Music, Arts, Drama and Film

 

Our Music and Arts services are therapeutic in nature and include activities such as music, art, drama, creative writing/poetry, and dance/movement among many others.  

​

We have used arts to express ourselves and heal for many thousands of years but it’s only since the 1940’s that expressive creative arts have really been recognized as therapeutic tools, playing an important role in assessment and treatment helping to support our overall health and well being.
