Art Therapy

Art therapy at Cemcat motivates and promotes physical, cognitive and relational skills through multiple techniques and educational resources. The aims are to encourage social relationships, manage emotions and achieve expression through creativity, to improve functional capacities and promote manual abilities by means of creative activities in an artistic context.

Patients following art therapy are involved in art exhibitions through collaboration with the civic centres of Barcelona City Council.

The art therapist accompanies each individual and provides the tools required throughout the creative process, while likewise providing different techniques using art as a means of therapy. This therapeutic process can ultimately provide a means of access to expression and the positive exploration of feelings that are difficult to articulate.

Mention should also be made of the inclusion of an urban allotment which is run by the centre.
