Introduction to Art Therapy: Support Group at RISC 12th Jan 2026

Our next monthly support meeting at RISC is on Monday 12th January 2026 at 7.30pm.

Madeline Magistrado will be introducing us to the concept of art therapy. Also known as art psychotherapy, this offers an alternative to traditional talking therapies, which may not feel accessible or helpful for everyone. It provides a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences through the medium of art, and can be useful on a short or a long-term basis.

To demonstrate the power of art therapy, Madeline will lead us in a simple exercise, giving us a chance to experience directly what our approach to drawings can reveal about ourselves. No artistic skill is necessary for this & all materials will be provided. There will be plenty of time for questions, chat & refreshments during the session.

Please register your free place through Eventbrite at the link below. As always, the meetings are completely free of charge and everyone is welcome. We aim to provide a safe and confidential environment where everyone is listened to and treated with respect.

If you book a ticket and are unable to attend, please let us know so that we can offer your place to someone else. You can cancel your ticket through Eventbrite, or send us a message via our contact form.
