Therapeutic Art Program @ Chrysalis

This award-winning program provides opportunities for individuals at Chrysalis to express their creativity and life experiences through various art mediums within a studio setting. Art Therapy combines the creative process and a therapeutic approach, facilitating self-exploration, reflection, and understanding. Through this process individuals are able to communicate their thoughts and feelings that might otherwise be difficult to articulate. In 2012, the Chrysalis Therapeutic Art Program in Edmonton received the PDD Community Disability Service Sector Leadership Award for its Community Outreach Program, which works collaboratively with the residents of St Michaels Health Group in supporting intergenerational and cross-cultural diversity through various art mediums.
