Creative Arts Group Therapy for Kids

Our in-person creative arts group therapy programs support children through art and music–based therapeutic approaches in a structured, supportive group setting. Led by qualified therapists, these groups are designed to help children build emotional regulation skills, express themselves safely, and connect with peers in meaningful ways.

No prior art or music experience is required. Creative activities are used as therapeutic tools — not performance — allowing children to participate at their own comfort level while engaging in evidence-informed group psychotherapy.

The Toronto District School Board has PA Days from time to time. This PA Day offering on June 26, 2026, is a therapist‑led creative arts group therapy experience for children ages 8-12. The day is structured to support emotional regulation, self‑expression, coping skills, and peer connection through art, music, movement, and therapeutic group activities.

Creative modalities are used as therapeutic tools, not as performance‑based activities. No prior art or music experience is required, and all materials are provided. Children are supported to participate at their own comfort level within a safe and grounded group environment.
