Host: Jennifer Hunter, PhD, Assistant Director for Family and Consumer Sciences Extension, University of Kentucky
Guest: Amber Bruce, LPATA, Art Therapist, UK Healthcare
On this episode of Cancer Conversations, Amber Bruce provides insight into the unique mental health profession of art therapy, how it complements traditional psychotherapy methods, and how the process of creating art can help patients navigate and process their experiences, emotions, and mental health challenges during their cancer journey.
Learn about the role of an art therapist in a hospital setting and how UK Healthcare, unlike many hospitals, provides this specialized resource. Discover the wide variety of artistic mediums used, the benefits for motor skills, and how each therapy session is tailored to meet the patient's unique needs from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.
Additionally, Amber shares information about the outpatient art therapy events that lead up to the Expressions of Courage event, a special gathering to celebrate cancer survivorship and shared expression through art.
