These resources or creative prompts have been developed over a decade of working with domestic violence survivors, cancer and chronic pain patients, their family members and healthcare providers. Each one is used in the Create to Heal program and participants report these are excellent tools that reduce stress and jump start imagination and creativity.
Remember we are all born creative. Create to Heal resources reinvigorate your sense of play and the freedom of expression. The more you show up to create, the more your creativity shows up to support you.
