Creative Arts

Ajuga School has created a dedicated creative space where students can explore their creativity through our art programs.

The Ajuga Art program provides all students with an avenue for developing individual creativity and self-expression, an opportunity to develop problem-solving techniques, and better skills in social interactions and emotional regulation.

Through art, our students can see the world in new ways and provide access to creative ways of knowing.

Art Therapy at Ajuga

Our trained art therapist offers individual and small group sessions every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. These sessions provide a safe and supportive space for students to express themselves creatively.

Rooted in a philosophy of trauma-informed practice, art therapy helps students to:

• Process and communicate feelings that may be difficult to put into words.
• Build emotional resilience by exploring their experiences through art.
• Develop trust and a sense of safety in a non-verbal, non-threatening way.
• Enhance self-awareness and coping skills in a supportive environment.
• Foster connection and reduce feelings of isolation through small group interactions.

By integrating art therapy into our support services, we aim to promote healing, empowerment, and wellbeing, helping students thrive both emotionally and academically.
