Group work can promote understanding of one's social interaction. It helps to promotes social skills in children. Working with others can build relationships and provide support. Isolation is lessened and solidarity created. Groups are a safe way to experiment with situations that are ordinarily uncomfortable. The support of team members helps participants to gain assertiveness and gain a greater sense of self esteem. Group work is also a great way to bridge therapies and put to pracice what has been learned in individual work.

Art therapy groups can also be play time, stress release time, and "wild abandon"- in essence, WELLNESS!
