Haley Hasen
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v40 n4 p215-219 2023
When working with sex workers, mental health professionals should provide affirming and validating health care that does not further perpetuate victimization. This brief report introduces a community and open studio approach to art therapy as a potential means of increasing mental health accessibility for sex workers. Based on two case studies, participants who explored their identities about being sex workers described reduced isolation, heightened respect, and mutual support.
