PeerConnect: Art Therapy & Chronic Pain

An introduction to coping with pain through the use of art therapy. We will hold both a therapeutic and educational space for participants to practice a series of structured art directives. No artistic experience is required! Participants are encouraged to bring whatever art materials they have at home, even if it is just a pen and paper.

In her private art therapy practice, Bri specializes in supporting clients within the disability community, focusing on complex medical trauma, chronic pain, health anxiety, self-esteem, self-advocacy, and the psycho-social aspects of living with a disability. In this art therapy and chronic pain workshop, Bri will offer an art therapy directive aimed at supporting participants to navigate and soften their relationship with pain.
