The benefits of art therapy often extend far beyond the studio. Participants frequently report feeling calmer, more focused, and more open to problem-solving in creative ways. These are transferable skills — not just for wellbeing, but for living.
At Hearts of the Valleys, we see creativity as a lifelong companion. It might show up in how someone decorates their home, tends a garden, or takes a photograph. Once creativity is awakened, it rarely goes back to sleep. It becomes a quiet form of resilience — a way to keep finding beauty, even in difficult times.
