MANCHESTER, N.H. Pastoral Counseling Services (PCS), an independent, non-profit counseling and consulting center serving New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts in collaboration with the New Hampshire Institute of Art is hosting the second annual “Art of Healing” exhibit. The event is open and free to the public and will be held on Tuesday, June 2 from 5:30pm – 7:30pm at PCS, 2013 Elm Street in Manchester, N.H. This is an opportunity to see the offices of PCS in the Manning House, meet PCS staff, and see great art from local artists. All are welcome to drop in anytime during those hours.

“According to the American Public Health Association, psychotherapists have begun to look at how the arts might be used in a variety of ways to heal emotional injuries,” said Dr. David Reynolds, PCS Executive Director. “Findings concluded that combining art and healing is a ways to increase understanding of oneself and to develop a capacity for self-reflection, reduce symptoms and alter behavior and thinking patterns.”

More than a dozen NHIA Alumni will be participating in the art exhibit and offer some works of art for sale. For more information visit: www.pcs-nh.org and to register call PCS at 603.627.2702 x 110.
