We are happy to present the Art Therapy Booklet, created as part of our ongoing work to support and empower LGBTI+ individuals accessing Streha Center’s services. This publication highlights a year of dedicated art therapy sessions, showcasing the creative processes, personal journeys, and transformative impact that art-based interventions bring to our beneficiaries.
Through drawing, painting, collage, and other expressive techniques, beneficiaries had the opportunity to explore emotions, process trauma, strengthen resilience, and build healthier coping mechanisms. The booklet not only documents these meaningful experiences, but also reflects the safe, supportive environment that Streha strives to provide every day.
In addition to presenting the outcomes of the program, the booklet also offers insights into how professionals, partners, and community actors can collaborate with Streha Center to further strengthen psychosocial support, promote inclusion, and expand access to creative therapeutic services.
