An art exhibition put on in Byron Bay last Friday by the Salvos showed some of the fascinating work done by participants in its art therapy program throughout the year.
The program aims to help people who attend ‘The Cottage’ drop-in centre for the homeless in Byron Bay, where they are encouraged to express themselves, work through trauma and grief and increase their emotional well being.
Sessions are on at 11am Thursdays and Fridays at 18 Fletcher Street, Byron Bay.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Great story, Art Therapy can be very healing. Not sure though if calling individuals who are without a secure home, “The Homeless” is entirely respectful?
