Art therapy helps cancer patients, families
Cancer patients going through treatment, their families and caregivers can benefi t from art, movement and music therapy to help provide emotional release, relaxation and peace. That’s according to Jennifer Backer, director of Chandler Regional Medical Center’s Cancer Center, who says that the free Expressive Art Therapy at the Cancer Center can lead participants “through a process of self- discovery, insight and personal growth.” “We are delighted to offer additional support to cancer patients and their friends and families by introducing this program to our community,” Backer adds. “We hope that participants are able to fi nd peace of mind by taking a part of all the different types of activities that we provide.” The Cancer Center provides a variety of therapeutic classes including art, movement and music therapy, and a workshop for journaling. The program focuses on the benefi ts of the creative process rather than the fi nal artistic product and is designed to decrease anxiety, stress and pain; increase positive mood, body awareness and emotional health; Increase physical and emotional strength; build social networks for support; and facilitate the mind and body connection.
In the art therapy portion, Backer says participants work with different tactile art materials such as clay, pastels and water colors “to allow a natural increase in self expression,
emotional release and personal clarity.” Sessions are from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday mornings, and all art supplies are included. Throughout the “journal to self” workshop from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays, attendees learn journaling techniques for personal growth, life management and creative expression in a small group format.
Movement therapy introduces bodies to gentle and nurturing change and involves direct expression of oneself through the body by focusing on improvement of self-esteem and body image, gaining insight into patterns of behaviors and creating new options for coping with problems.
Music therapy from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays allows participants to move, sing, create and listen to music which in turn decreases pain perception, increases feeling of self-worth, which positively affects the immune system and reduces fear and anxiety levels. There are weekly, 90-minute classes for six weeks throughout the year. Space is limited and priority is given to those whose diagnosis occurred within the past fi ve years. Funding for this program was made possible through the CHW Foundation - East Valley.
For more information or to register for a class, call ResourceLink from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday toll free at 1-877-728-5414.
