Art Therapy Demographics in Dnipro
DTCare and NOSU work with men, women, teenagers, and children in Dnipro. Close to 90% of all our clients are children under 13, and the smallest group we work with is teenagers.
Younger children can benefit from art therapy as it allows them to communicate their feelings and experiences that they may not be able to articulate in words. Art therapy can help teenagers navigate the challenges of adolescence and express their identity and individuality through art. It can also be a powerful tool for addressing mental health issues, building resilience, and assisting with severe trauma. Art therapy is a versatile and effective therapy approach that can benefit individuals of all ages in various ways.
