Personal Journal/ Reflection for the New Year

Today's art therapy activity was designed to enable clients to create their own lunch bag journal in which to put reflections for the new year. They created their journals using four paper lunch bags folded in half. Clients were encouraged to decorate them using any materials that are provided, including handmade paper, ribbons, tiny envelopes, washi tape, markers, pencils, stencils, collage, etc.

Clients were reminded that this is the time of year when people usually make annual resolutions. They were encouraged to reflect on challenges they may have had this year and what they would like to make as goals for the upcoming year. Below please find images of the journals created during today's art therapy class.
