We’re proud to have launched a new art therapy initiative at the Rekai Centre, created specifically to support LGBTQ+ seniors through creative expression, connection, and community.
This first-of-its-kind initiative brings art therapy into a space where identity, life stories, aging, and belonging can be explored through the arts. For LGBTQ+ older adults—many of whom have lived through decades of profound social change—creative expression can offer a meaningful way to reflect, connect with others, and have their experiences seen and honoured.
Through this collaboration, our art therapists are creating opportunities for residents to make art, share stories, build relationships, and express parts of themselves that words alone may not always capture.
We’re excited to see this initiative begin at the Rekai Centre and to continue exploring how art therapy can create more inclusive and meaningful mental-health and wellness experiences for seniors. 🌈❤️
