ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring the effects of art therapy on individuals with substance use issues who are on probation. The researchers want to find out if participating in art therapy can help these individuals manage their emotions better, boost their self-esteem, and reduce feelings of hopelessness. The study will involve collecting information from participants through questionnaires and conducting art therapy sessions in small groups. Participants will be compared to a control group to see if art therapy makes a positive difference in their emotional well-being.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be 18 years or older, literate, and currently on probation for drug-related offenses. They should also not be under the influence of drugs and need to be capable of communicating effectively during the sessions. If someone decides to join the study, they can expect to take part in group art therapy sessions where they will express themselves through art, while also helping researchers understand how this therapy might support their recovery journey.
