Community & Social Enterprise
Fostering connection, inclusion and well-being through free community programs
About The Service
At Expressive Art Therapy, we believe in the importance of giving back to the community. Our Social Enterprise initiatives are designed to support and uplift vulnerable and isolated individuals - particularly seniors in the Russian-speaking community.
Through meaningful, no-cost programs, we aim to promote connection, wellbeing, and a sense of purpose.
