Paint for Health | Creative rehab Skaraborg

Project title

Måla för Hälsan | Kreativ rehab Skaraborg

Description of initiative

The purpose of the project Paint for Health | Creative rehab Skaraborg is to help reduce stress-related mental illness by offering resource-strengthening image therapeutic methods. The method is a combination of creative and reflective conversations and can be seen as a synthesis between psychotherapy, pedagogy and artistic design. Image therapy offers methods that activate resources through play, curiosity and creation. The artistic therapies make it possible to put thoughts into words and go to a deeper and more bodily level. The working method includes image creation, conversation, writing and integration based on a given theme, but with personalized adapted approach where the participants themselves actively participate in their own healing process and in the design of the method.
