Art Therapy for Those Living with Breast Cancer

Westmed is holding a 6 series workshop offering support to others who have gone through breast cancer. Each week, the group focuses on positive, artistic projects including journaling, drawing, collage work, painting and more. At the same time, this offers a safe space to discuss treatment issues, recovery, long-term effects, and the many ways that breast cancer affects a woman’s emotional landscape, physical appearance and sense of femininity. This peer-facilitated support group is run by Rebecca Pine, an eight-year breast cancer survivor treated by Westmed. This video details her story, and how the art therapy class at Westmed came about.
