Blue Mountain Health System will offer a free workshop on Art Therapy: Creating a New Outlet at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 26, at the Bowmanstown Medical Plaza, 204 Bank St., Bowmanstown.

Art therapy is a creative process that motivates people to engage in the process of making art. When words fail, art therapy encourages people to express feelings and emotions through non-verbal outlets. It is based on the belief that the creative process is used to help people resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behaviors and achieve insight.In this workshop, art therapist, Kathy Karanink, will lead participants to create their own journal and help understand how journaling can have a positive impact on physical and mental health, help one gain insight into one's thoughts and feelings and allow one to tap into deeper reserves of creativity and problem solving.Please register at 610-377-7070.
