Art Therapy for Patients and Employees

OVERVIEW

USC-VHH has conducted clinical art therapy pilot projects as an integrative approach to postoperative pain management, stress reduction and adjustment to hospitalization. Additionally, art therapy is used in our physical therapy department as a rehabilitation tool with stroke survivors. And, as an engaging way to care for our caregivers, staff are invited to share their talents by participating in an annual employee art exhibit featured in our Café Art Gallery. Arts-based wellness events for our employees and volunteers are also hosted throughout the year.
