Mental health has recently been identified as a serious public health concern. Mental diseases encompass symptoms, from minor anxiety to severe forms like behavioral abnormalities. Art therapy uses artistic means to treat mental illnesses and improve mental health. As Girl Up Zimbabwe we have been using Art to address mental health because art has become a significant element of the therapeutic sector and is used in several recovery and treatment procedures. Art therapy classes use integrative techniques to captivate the soul, body and mind in ways that verbal expression alone does not appear to. Our Art therapy classes provide a recovery-oriented, person-centered approach that includes emotional, spiritual, social needs and clinical demands as we had a qualified systematic family therapist present Tafadzwa who is the founder of @yananiso_counselling_centre This program was made possible by the support from @houseofartsassociation @dreamtown.ngo Location 📍Chitungwiza Target group: youths 15-18 . . . #mentalhealthiswealth🔑 #arttherapyhealsthesoul #girlupzw

Mental health is wealth and we are using art to address depression, anxiety, substance abuse & suicidal intent . . @houseofartsassociation @dreamtown.ngo
