EXPRESSIVE ARTS FOR OLDER ADULTS: PROMOTING QUALITY OF LIFE AND SOCIAL CONNECTION

This conference explores the dynamic power and healing potential of the expressive arts for older adults. It emphasizes the value of the creative process, explains how to assist individuals in tapping into and expressing their imagination and creativity, and illustrates how the expressive arts can promote self-actualization, social connection, and psychological and physiological healing in a variety of settings.
