I used to do art therapy with adult patients at Juravinski and observed an amazing emotional and psychological impact for patients. Unfortunately, funding was cut and the service was not seen as a priority. In my humble opinion, our health care system needs to have a more holistic view of the needs of patients that goes beyond physical.

Simple art making experiences may mediate pain, mood and anxiety.
