Art Therapy Program Helps People with Life-Threatening Illnesses Heal

For 30 years, the "Art for Recovery" program at UCSF has helped patients with life-threatening illnesses express themselves through art in a supportive environment.
The program began with HIV patients in 1988 and now works almost exclusively with people with cancer.

I'm a university student working my way to becoming an art therapist. Watching videos like these make me feel so overwhelmed with love and joy, seeing how art has been able to help so many of these people. I want to be able to hold a sacred space like that for people to feel supported and safe in

I think back a year ago when I was in highschool in class of 2022 of my senior year my speech teacher and therapist said about this I said sure I can change my mind I'm couple of days I'm going to be 19 years old and so I made the best decision to go after my real career and job goal is to be an art therapist
