Many people face mental health issues throughout their lives. Art therapy has been shown to help, with studies exploring various practices. My literature review highlights how crocheting helps patients overcome anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The research also shows how crochet improves mental well-being, fosters a sense of community, and has therapeutic effects. I created a unique crochet pillow, donated to Mone’t Floyd at Grace Center Mental Health Organization, symbolizing creative freedom for patient benefit.
