The physical, emotional, and financial stressors caused by this “new normal” can take a toll on one’s mental health--especially for those in personal or professional caretaking roles. The act of creating in a safe space can be a powerful form of self care and antidote to negative emotions and burnout, no matter what one’s artistic background may be. Come join Sharon Itkoff Nacache, MPS, ATR-BC, LCAT of The Art Therapy Practice in a brief introduction to the Open Art Studio method of art therapy for a welcome distraction and reminder of one’s own inherent creative potential. Several sheets of blank paper and any drawing utensils are recommended.
