As part of our Valentine’s Day work, we focused on ourselves and the importance of Self Love/focusing on ourselves. Clients took part in group chats with their peers, discussing what we thought each others good characteristics are, completed worksheets, created poems and made Valentines day cards, made clay hearts with positive words
Clients at the Centre recycled coffee jars to make valentine themed heart vases. We used heart templated to help us create the hearts on our jars. We choose tissue paper to decorate our jars, used lights and flowers to decorate.
Over the course of 2 weeks clients enjoyed taking part in a ‘love’ and ‘Valentine’s’ themed art therapy with Nikki Empathy Creations funded by Aghalee Village Hall
