The P.E.E.P.S. Framework
A simple, repeatable approach that transforms art-making into meaningful moments of connection, dignity, and joy.
At the center of Caregiver’s Artbox® is the P.E.E.P.S. Framework — a simple, adaptable model for creative engagement in elder care. Each stage—Prepare with Purpose, Engage with Empathy, Encourage Expression, Personalize the Process, and Share & Sustain——offers clear, practical steps that make art sessions easy to lead and deeply rewarding to experience.
This framework empowers Activity Professionals to guide groups of mixed abilities with confidence, creativity, and ease, ensuring that every resident feels included, valued, and capable.
