BJC Hospice Expressive Therapy For Children (Art and Soul)

Expressive therapy helps children with life-limiting illnesses and their families express and cope with experiences, thoughts and emotions. Using various therapeutic activities including art, music, play, writing and storytelling, the expressive therapy program:
• Determines the child's emotional, social and psychological functioning
• Uncovers feelings or conflicts that the child or sibling is having difficulty verbalizing
• Provides an appropriate outlet for expressing feelings
• Develops a supportive, trusting and therapeutic relationship
• Uses imagery as an aid in healing
• Assesses and explores death awareness
• Assists the bereaved family work through the painful process of healing
• Allows the patient and family to gain some relief from physical or emotional stress
