Groups
Due to COVID-19, art groups are being held via Zoom. If you are interested in attending a virtual group, please contact Sara Hankinson, Art Therapist by email.
BC Cancer hosts several different groups which use art therapy techniques. Making art within a group provides the same benefits of individual art therapy, with the added benefit of providing another form of connection between group members. Below are the programs offered. They are currently offered virtually to patients and family members throughout B.C. Participants
can join online or by phone.
