Art Therapy Display
In the U.S., our H2H Chapters partner with a student led project called Paint Me Whole to bring art therapy directly to patients. Then, we take their art pieces and create interactive displays for others to interact with as another form of art therapy!
What Exactly Happens?
Patients create small art pieces
We hold workshops in hospitals to bring the care directly to the patients. Patients can create small arts and craft pieces.
Volunteers put together hundrdes of crafts
After we receive the crafts made by patients, volunteers work tirelessly to put them together into an interactive display
Other patients can enjoy the display
As a form of lasting art therapy, once patients make the pieces, other, new, patients can also enjoy them and interact with them to relieve stress.
Highlights/Impact of Our Programs
Many patients experience mental stress
Fighting an illness and being in a hospital can take a serious toll on a patient's mental health. Our Art Therapy will help relieve that stress and make the patient's journey through healthcare a bit easier.
Lasting Impact
Our displays are built to last. Patients can continue interacting with them even after the crafts are made!
Care Messages
Patients can put messages in their crafts they make. This helps pass on messages or advice to other patients or people, making our displays a way to foster connection between individuals.
