Case study demonstrates how arts-based interventions improve emotion regulation and relational safety in perinatal settings.
SUMMARY This article reflects on a collaborative drawing group in a mother and baby unit, exploring the clinical value of arts-based interventions in perinatal psychiatry. Grounded in an evolutionary and biopsychosocial theory, it highlights how creative practice can reduce hierarchy, support emotion regulation and foster relational safety. A practical group model is described, encouraging clinicians to draw on their own creative skills to enrich care, build connection and hold space for meaning beyond symptom management.
