In recognition of May Is Mental Health Month, Home Nursing Agency's Center for Counseling is once again hosting "Arts in Healing": A Unique Art Exhibit Featuring the Artists of the Agency's Art Therapy Program.
Arts in Healing will take place on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 from 1-6 p.m. at the Center for Counseling, 500 East Chestnut Avenue, Altoona.
Participating artists collaborated to create the piece below to represent the exhibit and the different perspective each artist brings.
Home Nursing Agency offers art therapy as an alternative form of therapy for clients with a variety of mental health issues who may benefit from a creative outlet for their thoughts and emotions. Art therapy offers individuals different mediums and tools to express their emotions and gain insight and awareness about them through a new perspective.
Grants from the Home Nursing Agency Foundation and the Central Pennsylvania Community Foundation provide the supplies used in art therapy.
Some of the artists will be on site at Arts in Healing to personally explain their works to those in attendance, and free refreshments will be offered.
For questions about Arts in Healing, please call 814-943-0414.
