Art therapy allows individuals and communities to transform trauma into narratives of resilience, turning pain into symbols of strength, survival, and hope.

Impact on resilience:

• Encourages post-traumatic growth by supporting the reinterpretation of difficult experiences as sources of learning and inner strength.
• Supports healing without re-traumatization by using symbolic and creative processes that respect emotional boundaries and personal pacing.
• Helps communities envision a peaceful future by shifting focus from past suffering toward collective hope and possibility.
