ARTS FOR HEALTH

Art and Craft as a way of

rehabilitation

This powerpoint shows occupations observed in the Arts for Health setting. This occupation of arts and crafts is used in this setting as a way of rehabilitation for adults who are mentally ill, injured or suffering from a disease.

In this setting I observed adults who came together and thrived off the art and company of other adults and helpers who could relate to what they were going through and support them through their everyday struggles.
