“Portrayal of Trauma” art exhibition from the NHS Kent & Medway Partnership Trust is a powerful exploration of trauma through artistic expression. This exhibition is a testament to the remarkable achievements of our Art Therapy for Trauma Group showcasing how trauma can be expressed through art.
You can see over 20 mixed-media pieces created by people who attended our Art Therapy for Trauma Group. These works reflect the courage and resilience of people who completed a 24-week programme with skilled art psychotherapist(s). Through their art, they share their experiences with trauma and highlight the challenges it brings to daily life.
A highlight of the exhibition is a collaborative artwork created by the group. It represents their journey together and the strong connections they built as they worked toward healing.
Art therapy allows people to face and process their difficult experiences through creativity. Our trained art psychotherapists help participants develop emotional strength, self-awareness, and healing.
The group setting offers valuable support and a sense of shared experience. These elements are essential for those dealing with trauma.
We invite visitors to join this important conversation. The “Portrayal of Trauma” exhibition is more than just an art display. It is a chance to engage with the hidden stories of trauma that many people carry. Please join us in breaking down the barriers and taboos surrounding these experiences. We encourage you to share your thoughts and reflections as you explore the connections between the artwork and your own journey.
