Sharing the Museum/Sharing the Douglas
Description of initiative
Sharing the Museum – Sharing the Douglas is an art therapy program designed for people with eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia).
Once every six weeks for six months, participants come for an encounter with art and take part in a creative workshop. In the safe and affirmative setting of the Museum, they can break through their isolation, develop a feeling of belonging within their community, and build a positive body image. The program explores the challenges and best practices of working with people undergoing treatment for eating disorders.
