creative therapy to boost self esteem


 
 
 
 

Studies have shown that approximately one third to one half of youth experience low self-esteem, and youth today face unique social pressures such as increased social media use (Jiotsa et al., 2021).


Emotional awareness is a powerful tool for growth.


Enhancing self-esteem in adolescence is related to more positive mental, physical, and social outcomes in adulthood. (Arsandaux et al., 2021).

 
 

confiDANCE teaches skills to rewire negative belief systems by using creative expression and therapeutic practice to encourage a positive sense of self.

Creative movement has been shown to enhance both general and specific aspects of self-esteem among youth (Theodorakou & Zervas, 2003).
