Art Therapy Sketch & Chat – Neurodiversity friendly

Art is a powerful tool for ADHDers, allowing thoughts and energy to flow without judgement. The process of creating can promote emotional regulation, offering a calming escape from over-stimulation or racing thoughts, and strengthens executive function skills.

We will follow a simple YouTube sketch tutorial, drawing together and having a laugh. 🖌 lead pencils, paper, eraser, a ruler and maybe some cotton wool... are all useful items for this session.

This session we have chosen a landscape; https://youtu.be/DPNY_p_9VK8?si=RqUIMMwlV2LegsF7
- we will watch to video in full
- then give everyone a chance to get all materials we need
- start video again, watching, rewinding pausing as required

📌 Important disclaimer: While we call this art therapy, we are not licensed therapists or medical professionals. This session is purely a social and creative gathering, and everyone is responsible for their own health and well-being.

If all goes well, I'd like to make this a regular event. So grab your sketchbook, a cup of tea, and let’s draw together!
