Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Creative Arts Diabetes Initiative will offer facilitated art therapy with a group/peer-support environment to two groups of youth/young adults, one with type 1 diabetes, and one with type 2 diabetes. This environment intends to "meet youth where they are", promote universality, hope and self-understanding, has the potential to be therapeutic and allows youth to express and learn about themselves and each other while developing healthy coping skills and address their fears and concerns.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Creative Arts Diabetes Initiative will offer facilitated art therapy with a group/peer-support environment to two groups of youth/young adults, one with type 1 diabetes, and one with type 2 diabetes. This environment intends to "meet youth where they are", promote universality, hope and self-understanding, has the potential to be therapeutic and allows youth to express and learn about themselves and each other while developing healthy coping skills and address their fears and concerns.

As much of diabetes management is about meeting physical health goals - it is the vision of this study that offering additional support in the form of art therapy will have positive effects for bringing awareness and avenues for self-care to the other often neglected dimensions of patients' mental, emotional and spiritual health as part of a more holistic health process.

Engaging in art therapy has the potential to decrease diabetes related distress by giving youth a means and opportunity to identify, understand and express their feelings about having diabetes. Improved self-awareness and self-reflectiveness can help youth integrate their feelings and learn how this can motivate, influence and impact their behaviors and life choices.

Youth will have the opportunity for engaging in peer support, and to build relationships that are meaningful, thus increasing their sense of belonging and positively affect their level of self-confidence, purpose and wellbeing.
