I went to the dedication ceremony at Nemours Children’s Cinic for the art therapy program. Jill Mundry addressed the crowd gathered for the dedication. Creative
volunteers share their passion and bring smiles to children and
families.Creativity of any kind, doing arts and crafts,
listening to music, or writing a story, helps kids explore and identify
feelings, deal with emotions, and even get better, faster. In fact, it’s been well documented that creative therapy can help:
- improve cognitive skills
- express feelings
- increase awareness of others/self
- enhance emotional and physical well being
- improve self-satisfaction
- manage pain
- improve speech and language skills
Nemours is fortunate to have
a lively creative arts program that include dedicated volunteers and
local artists lead the kids in painting, drawing, and other fun
activities in the waiting areas.
