      <link>https://vsctrust.org.nz/news/pablos-art-at-take-10-arvos/</link>
      <description>We are excited to be teaming up with Pablos Art to deliver Art Therapy sessions at Take 10 Arvo’s.&#xD;
&#xD;
Sarah from Pablos Art has been running these workshops fortnightly at the Linden Community Centre. Sarah talks about art therapy saying, “I believe in the arts ability to heal and enable us to express ourselves where other outlets might fall short. The creative arts therapies encourage self-expression and foster exploration of our awareness, encourage emotional growth, and enhance relationships with ourselves and others.”</description>
