The Art Therapy Project Corporation Tatp

Substance use, addiction & recovery program the substance use and addiction program serves both inpatient and outpatient populations at mount sinai beth israel chemical dependency center as well as clients of the educational alliances center for recovery & wellness. During 2024, we worked with 462 clients in 181 sessions and addressed issues ranging from navigating shame to systems of control to developing healthy coping skills.

Veterans art therapy program women veterans were the first clients served by the art therapy project in 2011 and now, serving all veterans remains central to our mission. There is a significant and unmet need for mental health services for veterans in our community and tatp helps fill that void. In 2024, 22 veterans attended 76 sessions, a combination of in-person and hybrid (combination of clients joining sessions in-person and online.) our veteran clients have all experienced some form of trauma and live with a variety of mental and/or physical health issues including post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd), military sexual trauma (mst), traumatic brain injury (tbi), drug addiction and/or homelessness. The program provides long-term care and support for veterans who would otherwise not receive mental health services.

Additional art therapy programming provided throughout the year served the lgbqtia+ community, frontline and essential workers, those experiencing secondary trauma and survivors of sexual assault.
