OUR IMPACT

Every space we create begins with people.

Our work happens across therapy rooms, schools, workplaces and communities.

​

Each experience is different, but at the heart of our work is the same belief: meaningful change can begin when people have space to explore, connect and be heard.

The Art Therapy Journal for Self-Care

Making space for self-discovery, one page at a time

We believe that everyone should have opportunities to explore, express themselves and find ways to support their emotional well-being. But not everyone has access to therapy, or the means to afford it.

​

We created The Art Therapy Journal for Self-Care to share some of the good stuff from art therapy in a way that people can bring into their everyday lives. It is an invitation to slow down, explore creatively and learn more about yourself, at your own pace, in your own time.

​

Featuring 54 illustrated art therapy prompts and reflective questions, the journal offers a space for creative self-expression, reflection and self-discovery, without the pressure to create something perfect.

​

It is not a replacement for therapy. Rather, it is another way to make space for self-care and personal growth. Some people use it independently, while therapists and counsellors may also bring it into their work with clients, offering opportunities to continue reflecting, exploring and noticing their growth beyond the therapy room.

​

For us, this journal is one small way of making creative and therapeutic practices more accessible, and bringing the possibility of connection, expression and healing into more everyday lives.

More than just a story, this initiative is a heartfelt effort to provide better health and education for children in need—100% of the proceeds go directly to Elpis, ensuring that every book sold makes a meaningful difference.
