Empowering Through the Arts
Cultivating Creativity and Connection
The ID Derby Offer Arts Therapy initiative aims to enhance mental health and promote inclusivity through the use of Arts Therapy and Creative Arts for Health and Well-being. We are a non for profit organization that believes in empowering communities and individuals to engage in creative expression. We view art-making as a fundamental human right, not a luxury.
What is Arts Therapy ?
Art, Dance & Movement, Drama and Music
Arts psychotherapies operate differently from traditional talking therapies. A qualified and registered therapist utilizes various art forms—such as drama, art, dance/movement, and music working with the clients to enhance their mental health and self-awareness.
Arts therapists employ these creative mediums to explore and address challenges, traumas, and diverse perspectives. The use of arts facilitates both verbal and non-verbal expression, allowing for the revelation of unconscious processes.
Many individuals may find traditional talking therapies to be inaccessible, intimidating, stressful, or potentially retraumatizing. Arts therapists can help alleviate these barriers by adopting a more indirect approach to addressing difficulties.
