	Receiving messages of support and understanding from women who share stories of similar experiences or who have created artwork that visually expresses emotions a resident is feeling can, as the name implies, create a feeling of meaningful connection with the artist, which can combat detachment and feelings of worthlessness. Learning more on one’s own is an empowering experience that can boost self-efficacy, and learning more about their living environment can combat detachment by making people feel more connected to the home and the works that share their same space. Furthermore, many will find they have more in common with some artists than they expected, and seeing beautiful works of art made by people similar to themselves can boost self-confidence and deter feelings of powerlessness.
