Rising mental health challenges among Chinese youth necessitate new intervention models. This study explores the mechanisms of museotherapy workshops in regulating emotional experiences for young visitors. With mental health issues becoming increasingly prevalent, innovative therapeutic approaches are essential to support this demographic.

The research focuses on how engaging with art and cultural artifacts can foster emotional expression and resilience among young individuals. Museotherapy, which combines elements of art therapy and museum education, provides a unique environment for self-discovery and healing. Participants in the workshops reported significant improvements in their emotional well-being, highlighting the therapeutic potential of creative engagement.

By analyzing the experiences of youth during these sessions, the study aims to shed light on the psychological benefits of museotherapy. The findings suggest that such interventions can serve as a valuable resource for mental health practitioners working with young people, offering a fresh perspective on coping strategies and emotional management in a rapidly changing society.
