Art with Purpose: The Art Therapy Activity Package

🎨 Art with Purpose: The Art Therapy Activity Package for Disability Support Providers

Creative expression is more than just making art—it’s a powerful tool for emotional insight, connection, and healing. For disability support providers and sole traders offering therapeutic services, art-based activities can help clients explore their inner world in ways that feel safe, engaging, and empowering.

But planning meaningful sessions takes time. That’s why I created the Art Therapy Activity Package—a ready-to-use resource filled with guided activities and warm-up games that support emotional wellbeing and creative exploration.

🌈 Why Art Therapy Activities Matter

Whether you're working with neurodivergent clients, people navigating grief, or individuals building emotional regulation skills, art therapy offers:

  • A non-verbal outlet for expression

  • Opportunities for self-reflection and storytelling

  • Tools for building rapport and trust

  • Support for emotional regulation and resilience

This package helps you deliver sessions that are both therapeutic and enjoyable—without spending hours on prep.
