How We Can Help

Creative Arts & Movement

Learn more about alternative methods of rehabilitation by joining one of our creative arts or movement programs. Offerings include visual art, yoga, music, mindfulness, & a walking group!

Our Program Offerings

Music Therapy

Music, being common to all cultures, enables people to feel a sense of belonging, develop their personal identity, and express themselves creatively. Our music therapist, Carmen Eisenhauer, uses both musical and clinical interventions to help brain injury survivors improve, maintain, and restore an optimal state of well-being.

This program is hosted in-person on Mondays and Thursdays. See our Program Calendar for details!

Art Therapy

This therapeutic program offers clients the chance to explore the world of visual arts, learn to expand their creativity, and unleash their imagination. With an open-studio structure, participants are able to work on their own projects or receive guidance from our facilitator. No prior experience is neccessary and all supplies are provided.

Art is a drop-in program that runs bi-weekly on Tuesday evenings from 3:00 until 5:00 pm.

We are also currently offering 1:1 Art Therapy sessions with an Art Therapy practicum student at VBIS. Email admin@vbis.ca for more info!
