How are affected children helped?

Children in particular benefit from art therapy, as they find it especially difficult to talk about feelings and events. With the help of specialised staff, we can help children and young people to come to terms with their experiences and give children's souls "wings" again.

Our lounges are particularly - In the Circus wagon at the ZuvAHRsicht in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler (On the GREEN) and in Schleiden/Gemünd at the catholic primary school (Müsgesauel 27) we offer free of charge the opportunity to process what they have experienced in a safe, comfortable space. Our Art therapist supports the children on site with its many years of experience and expertise. Group and individual therapies are offered. The programme is available to all affected children and young people.

    What is art therapy?

    Art therapy is a form of therapy that uses artistic means to gain access to thoughts and feelings. With the help of a wide range of materials from pencils and paper to brushes and canvas to clay, stone or wood, the children/young people work creatively under the guidance of the therapist, deal with their own issues and "develop" resources. Here, inner processes can be visualised, worked on and further developed.

    With the help of different materials and artistic means, resources can be discovered, strategies developed and self-healing powers strengthened.

    When is art therapy useful?

    Access through artistic creation makes it easier for many people, especially children and young people, to open up and engage in the therapeutic process.

    In what context does art therapy take place?

    Art therapy takes place in an individual or group setting. The duration of the therapy sessions, how often and at what intervals they take place, is variable and can be adapted to the individual needs of the respective children/young people. The programme is scheduled for 20 hours a week and can be extended as required. The open groups per session consist of 10-15 children, the small groups consist of 3 children, i.e. up to 150 children per week can be supported in their trauma processing with art therapy.

    What methods are used?

    Art therapy approaches are based on depth psychology, systemic, behavioural therapy, learning theory and anthroposophical approaches, among others.

    As far as artistic methods are concerned, it is up to the therapist to decide which he or she considers appropriate for working with individual children or young people. In general, however, the entire spectrum of visual arts is available - from paper and pencil, collage, chalks, watercolours and acrylic paints to clay, wood and stone, there are no limits to the imagination.

    The offer is aimed at:

    Children and young people who are helped to overcome verbal blocks through creative work in order to work on their individual issues. The focus is on traumatised children, adolescents and young adults in the flood area
