“I drew almost like a paint by number, fill-in-the-color poster, so, people could take their sticker from the day and stick it on there.'
CLEVELAND — Michelle Chavez is an art therapist at University Hospitals’ Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital.“Art-making and the creative process helps people move through their mental blocks, or their trauma, or their depression and stress because art-making is an inherently human thing to do. It’s something that feels really good to everyone. We learn how to do it at a really young age,” she said.
David Miller is the Medical Director for Pediatric Integrative Medicine at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital. He said as the days of the pandemic dragged on, the exhaustion and stress mounted for everyone. “The stickers sort of have this, in a sense, a little bit of like a negative feeling attached to them, right? Because it's really tightly tied to the coronavirus and feeling like, ‘Are we safe? Are we not safe?’ He said. “What they did with them is really a transformation of something negative into something positive.”“At the end of the day, we would stick our sticker up on there. Our response was really overwhelming with the people that wanted to participate.
