Description
.
Art Therapy Group for Parent-Child dyadic intervention focused on the early years and those who might experience Adverse Childhood experiences. This 6-week closed creative therapy group is specifically designed for parents and their infants or children. It offers a therapeutic space where parents and children can explore and strengthen their attachment relationships in a supportive, nurturing environment. Through none directive art therapy parents and children are invited to connect on a deeper emotional level, fostering mutual understanding and healing.
The focus of this group is on the emotional bonds between parent and child. Participants will be encouraged to express themselves creatively, either collaboratively or side by side, using art as a tool to communicate and explore their feelings. This creative process provides a unique opportunity for non-verbal expression and can help break down communication barriers, particularly in cases where words might be difficult to find.
Two experienced facilitators will lead the group, providing a safe, supportive space for parents and children to express their emotions and experiences. The facilitators will guide participants through therapeutic processes, encouraging exploration of attachment dynamics, emotional connection, and the healing potential of relationships. By examining the parent-child bond in a creative context, the group aims to foster a deeper sense of empathy, trust, and emotional resilience.
The group will aim to work with 5-6 families for a fixed 6 week period of time
