“Abstract: Art Therapy for Emotional Well-being: Techniques and Benefits
Art therapy is a powerful approach to enhancing emotional well-being, reducing anxiety, and improving self-esteem among adolescents. This seminar provides an in-depth exploration of how art therapy can serve as an effective tool for emotional expression and healing. By utilizing creative processes, adolescents are encouraged to express their emotions in a non-verbal way, leading to increased self-awareness, emotional regulation, and personal growth. The session will begin with an explanation of art therapy, its principles, and its therapeutic benefits, supported by evidence-based research.
Case studies will illustrate the positive impact of art therapy on adolescents facing various psychological challenges, such as stress, trauma, and social anxiety. Practical activities and techniques that educators and counselors can implement, including guided imagery, mandala creation, and group art projects, will be shared. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how art therapy can foster a supportive and mentally healthy atmosphere for all adolescents.”
