Art as a therapeutic tool
Art can also be a tool for care. In this spirit, Les écluses de l'art work with the Espace Perréal day hospital, which welcomes adults with mental health issues.

Professional supervision
The visits and workshops take place under the supervision of a mental health professional and an art therapist. This ensures that the activities are tailored to the needs of the participants and provide a safe environment for exploration.
Collaborative approach
This collaboration between Les écluses de l'art and Espace Perréal highlights the growing recognition of the role of art in therapeutic settings. It combines medical care with creative expression to enhance patient recovery and quality of life.
