Over the past two weeks, the Yaks have been joined by Jeannie, a recreation therapist, to dive into the benefits of the fibre arts on your mental health. We understand how sensitive this topic can be for some, and hope this discussion was as insightful to you as it was to us.
Jeannie discusses the history of how the fibre arts have been used for healing therapy since World War II, the benefits to the improvement of mental health and fine motor skills recovery and maintenance. As Fibre Artists, we were thrilled to know that there have now been studies into what we have always known, the Fibre Arts are beneficial to your health.
We would love for you to join in on the conversation and let us know how the Fibre Arts benefits you, what is your history with the Fibre Arts?
