Create, heal, and grow with art!

Have you ever thought of art as a form of self-care? For many, picking up a pencil or paintbrush isn’t just fun—it’s a simple way to let feelings out, ease stress, and calm the mind. That's the idea behind art therapy: healing through creativity. In this episode, The Holistic Kids and Caren Sacks explore how art can be a powerful tool for expression, healing, and building confidence in both kids and adults.
