Interventions

Art therapyBEHAVIORAL

Participant's creativity is stimulated by visual arts materials and various art therapy techniques, in relation to 6 topics: self-care, stress management, flourishing caregiving, challenging caregiving, loss and grief, and sense of professional meaning. The strategy consists of stimulating an observant and symbolic gaze, facilitating visual expression, promoting communication about what it has been expressed, and gather learning from the multidimensional impact of the creative art process (sensations, emotions, cognitions and spiritual experiences).
