Hi
I am in the UK and would like to commend you on these incredibly photos. Art is therapy in itself particularly to express inner trauma. Having engaged in art psychotherapy myself, the benefits are huge.
I have just begun a Government petition to make art psychotherapy accessible in all hospitals throughout the UK. Cuts in services has meant many people will not get the mental health care/support they need. Please copy the link below into your browser then click on the link for epetition for art psychotherapy.
