People can communicate non-verbally through artistic endeavours, which is particularly beneficial for those who have difficulty putting their feelings into words. Stress, worry and despair can be alleviated through this type of expression. Making art gives one a sense of purpose and accomplishment, which boosts self-esteem and elevates mood. In addition, creating art can be a very calming and contemplative practice that improves mental health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9eb6fff elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"9eb6fff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=Bb3jJ7rJAOU&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our partners from Cyprus met Mrs Anna, a woman in her 70s who lives in Nicosia, during the pilot project at the Nicosia Multifunctional Centre.
