A three-year research study will examine how the moods and behaviors of residents change with the therapy and if they rely less on psychotropic drugs. The facilities will use assessments, questionnaires and personal observations for the research. 

The program is made possible by Tennessee Tech University Whitson-Hester School of Nursing, which will be partnering with ArtTherapy4Life for instruction, a Tennessee-based nonprofit that was founded this year. The art therapy grant is the first of its kind in the state.
