What? MYPAS provide Art Therapy to secondary aged young people in East Lothian. The therapist uses art materials as a medium through which to help a young person gain insight into their emotions and experiences and helps them to process these in a way which doesn't depend upon being able to talk verbally about these. The approach is non-directive and client lead and is particularly effective where the young person has difficulty exploring their feelings and experiences verbally. Support is delivered in school and typically consists of 10 sessions following an assessment and formulation process.
