Abstract	The prevalence of physical violence has inflicted distress upon numerous individuals, prompting extensive discourse on remedies. Addressing the plight of students impacted by physical violence in secondary schools within Bundibugyo District necessitates a unified approach and the adoption of strategies to alleviate the ensuing stress. This research delves into the potential of therapeutic drawing to articulate the nuanced experiences associated with the escalating incidence of physical violence in these schools. Despite the array of adversities affecting secondary students, physical violence emerges as a particularly pervasive issue, often leaving young individuals hesitant to verbally articulate their suffering. Thus, this study seeks to explore the correlation between visual art therapy and the expression of physical violence among students in specific secondary schools within Bundibugyo District. The study, involving 400 S2 students (distributed across School A-163, School B-17, School C-75, and School D-145), employed methodologies including semi-structured interviews during sessions, observational techniques, and focus group discussions. Employing an explanatory sequential design, the research revealed a significant disparity in means, indicating a tangible relationship between therapeutic drawing and the expression of physical violence among students in the selected secondary schools in Bundibugyo District. Consequently, the null hypothesis was dismissed. These findings culminate in the assertion that therapeutic drawing interventions facilitate the enhanced expression of physical violence among victims, aiding in their relaxation, restoration of hope, and alleviation of anxiety stemming from their encounters with physical violence.
