We provide a variety of opportunities for students to express their creative and artistic talents.

Art Therapy provides a way to express oneself, a voice to communicate without limitation offering alternative ways to communicate even when words are limited. It’s a therapy based on the theory that creative expressions can foster healing and emotional well-being. Exploring your artistic talents can be fun and can launch a new beginning that you might never have ever imagined!

Crafting has so many benefits for people living with disabilities, so it's important to apply craft projects to their daily lives. The themes of our sessions are inspired by events and celebrations throughout the year. In addition to birthdays, Valentines, Easter and Christmas we also make decorations for our fundraisers and drama productions.

We use a wide range of techniques including stamping, painting, sewing and a variety of innovations to produce our creations.  We also take time to engage in “mindfulness” colouring.

It helps quiet my mind. Concentrating on the colours, lines and shapes takes me away from the noise.
