At AGI, the Creative Arts Therapies Program fosters mental health through engagement in art and music activities. Guided by trained art and music therapists and student interns, our participants living with dementia meet their social and emotional needs through creative expression within a supportive environment. Art and music workshops are created with individualized therapeutic goals in mind. These may include development of positive coping, self-esteem and personal growth, accomplishment, social connectivity, emotional healing, stress management and enjoyment. 

 

Are you a new to art or music making? Fear not: No prior experience or skill is required to partake and reap the rewards of Creative Arts Therapies. 

 

Interested? Group sessions are automatically incorporated into day centre programming. Availability of individual sessions is limited and priority is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If you are interested, please speak to your AGI counselor.
