| Summary: | From social vulnerability to social exclusion, the person faces a process of continuous ruptures and difficult, if not impossible, problems to overcome in solitude. Faced with the loss of social and family ties, emotional support and a fundamental protection factor to overcome social disadvantage, a social intervention that is both training and repairing is essential. With this article, an approach is made to the opportunities offered by art therapy in the social field for a preventive intervention, within the framework of the interdisciplinary work trend that is being followed in the context of social services. From the confluence of the objectives of social intervention and art therapy, we find strategies that improve people’s lives. They provide welfare and help them mobilize their own resources to cope with the ruptures, which in their different dimensions, personal, social, economic and cultural, turn out to be traumatic experiences that occur in their life trajectories. |
