ArtPad is a nonprofit organization that stimulates the artistic minds of elderly people living with dementia and veterans living with PTSD, helping them express their creative skills through art programs and positive reinforcement.

Art therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental and emotional well-being.

The creative process of expressing oneself artistically can help people resolve issues, develop and manage their behaviors and feelings, reduce stress, and improve self-esteem and awareness.
