Art Therapy for Recovery
Guided art sessions that give people in recovery a calm, creative way to express themselves and connect with others.
What it is
Art therapy uses painting, drawing and other creative work to help people express feelings that are hard to put into words. Sessions are friendly and unhurried, and no art experience is needed.
Who it helps
People in recovery programs, along with the centers and communities that support them. Chord & Canvas can bring sessions to your recovery program or center.
How you can help
- Give once or monthly to fund art therapy for recovery programs.
- Volunteer, donate art supplies or partner with us.
