Overview
"In the Chinese community, postpartum PTSD has raised awareness year by year. Despite this, due to cultural background, the public often has some taboos and limitations on topics related to mental health. It makes the community of mothers with postpartum PTSD have more challenges finding the resources for their healing journey. Expressive Art Therapy is one of the many healing methods that are very suitable for adult PTSD patients, and it is no longer an unfamiliar concept. This thesis endeavors to address the issue of lack of resources for awareness and prevention of postpartum PTSD, finding new resolution through expressive art therapy. Through the immersive experience of art therapy, mothers not only raise awareness of their mental health state and decrease symptoms of postpartum PTSD but also could potentially spread more positive influence on more mothers in their local community." --Abstract
