Art Therapy for Cancer Patients
Free art therapy is available for cancer patients in the Cancer Treatment and CyberKnife Center conference room. Use the elevator downstairs from the Cancer Center lobby. On the first Wednesday of each month, the activity takes place in the Cancer Treatment and CyberKnife Center lobby. No prior art experience is required, and a range of materials will be used. The program is led by certified art therapist Yael Divon. Walk-ins are welcome. To sign up or get information, Cancer Treatment and CyberKnife Center patients can call (910) 615-4626 or (910) 615-4435, and Health Pavilion North Cancer Center patients can call (910) 615-3856. Art therapy is a mental health practice guided by an art therapist. Through making art and reflecting on the creative process, participants can explore emotions, ease stress, resolve conflicts, build self-awareness, support behavior change, improve orientation to reality, reduce anxiety, and strengthen self-esteem. The focus is on the act of creating rather than the final artwork. This approach is used in many settings and can be helpful for those who have difficulty putting feelings into words. The Cape Fear Valley Health Foundation and Cape Fear Valley Cancer Centers offer this program as part of extended care for patients.

Ease into the day with a 45-minute yoga session that gently awakens body and mind through mindful asana and calming restorative poses.

Carolyn leads the class as a 200-hour certified instructor trained at Embrace Yoga, a former local studio. She is also pursuing an additional 200-hour certification with the Chopra Center and brings perspectives shaped by her own journey. The experience centers on meeting yourself where you are and concluding with a grounded, open, and connected state.
