Art Therapy: Everyone Should Do Art! with Cynthia Young

Episode 306: It's Thankful for the Arts Month on Radio Free 501c! We continue our celebration of the Arts with Cynthia Young, CAE, Executive Director, American Art Therapy Association. Our conversation covers the many reasons we should all do art, like mental health, emotional wellbeing, community, connection, and learning about our own creativity. From throwing clay to getting lost in a museum, Cynthia shares her own experiences with art and talks about why her members love what they do. She also shares how you can bring their Art for Wellness Clinic to your conference to provide support and relationship building to your own members. You will be inspired by this wide ranging exploration of how art is good for us. What is your favorite creative outlet? Share a comment!
