East Watertown-based ARTrelief is offering free groups through the month of May.
The groups are meeting virtually during the COVID-19 shutdown, and there are courses for kids and adults, said Clinical Director Cecile Reve.
ARTrelief is an innovative Expressive Arts Therapy center which has serviced individuals across the lifespan, according to its website.
The group dedicates itself to the use and promotion of all forms of art to support health, joy, awareness, development, education, social-economic adjustment, cultural inclusion, equality, dignity and integrity in the community.
ARTrelief provides free virtual art and play workshops and therapy, and wants to invite the community to benefit. See the list of classes available below:
