Corporate Art Therapy-Based Wellness Workshops
Why Art Therapy in the Workplace?
Art Therapy is an evidence-based, and proven modality to help support employees in the workplace. Distress in employees about an uncertain future has grown due to the pandemic. And ways to express it are restricted. Painting, drawing, sketching, and doodling are expressive art forms that allow one to manifest thoughts and feelings on a canvas. Apply this to a work environment in guided expertise of an art therapist, and companies can give team culture a boost from group activities that focus on the cohesive expression of one’s personality. It can even lead to enhanced team bonding and understanding.
Employee Wellbeing & Performance
As a society, our knowledge, understanding and interest in general wellbeing has increased immensely over the past few years. This interest in well-being has increasingly become an important metric in the general health of large (and small) organizations also.
It is imperative to incorporate support for well-being throughout an organization’s structure. By improving employee well-being, the organization is focusing on the mental and physical aspects of the employee to ensure they feel safe and supported in the workplace.
Well-being of employees has a significant impact on their mindset and how they conduct their day-to-day work. From this perspective alone, organizations need to take a proactive approach to nurture wellness amongst employees.
“‘Making art together develops a graphic language that enables people to speak to each other in ways that are simply unattainable by words alone’”
Some of the organizations I’ve worked with!
Virtual + In-Person
Corporate
Session
Structure
-
We will usually start the group with a small check-in, either through art or verbally, to see where everyone is at.
We’ll then start with a small introduction to the topic we will be concentrating on for the session.
-
A short warm-up exercise to get comfortable with the art materials, and to bring you to the here and now.
-
This is where you’ll spend the majority of the time on an art directive that is specifically designed to deep dive into the topic of the session.
-
You’ll be given a prompt to journal about your artwork, the process and any insight you discovered through the process.
-
This is where you’ll share your artwork with the rest of the group. You can share as much as you want, or as little. This is also a great time to connect with others and witness their healing process as well.
-
We’ll then end the session with a closing exercise, to make sure you’re grounded before you leave.
