Catharsis is founded on the belief that the incorporation of drama and expressive arts in therapy is an effective and empowering method for problem solving, promoting growth and well-being within individuals and groups, and that the arts can build bridges between cultures and different segments of society.
They also believe in the therapeutic use of drama to play an active role in healing one’s self in a safe environment where one is accepted, not judged and able to express him or herself.
