[Abstract]County-level regions serve as the "terminal nodes" of the public cultural service system, where both the priorities and challenges of high-quality development lie at the grassroots level. Currently, county-level cultural centers generally face structural difficulties such as monotonous service content, a mismatch between supply and demand, weak humanistic care, and insufficient grassroots coverage. Traditional models of exhibitions and performances have struggled to meet the real needs of county residents for mental stress relief, emotional 疏导 , and spiritual nourishment. Among these, the shortcomings in the spiritual and cultural supply for rural left-behind groups, the elderly population, and the youth in county areas are particularly prominent. This paper takes the county-level cultural center as the core carrier, attempting to embed lightweight, inclusive, and nontherapeutic art therapy into the county-level public cultural service system. It deliberately avoids the specialized and niche development paths of first-tier city venues, conducting localized research based on the demographic structure, resource constraints, and grassroots pain points of county areas. By comprehensively employing literature review, case analysis, and inductive-deductive methods, this paper clarifies the adaptive mechanisms and service models of art therapy in county-level settings, elucidates its unique public welfare value, systematically identifies implementation obstacles such as weak talent pools, limited funding, dispersed audiences, insufficient awareness, and rough operations, and subsequently proposes a set of practical implementation paths that are low-cost, replicable, sustainable, and suited to county-level resource endowments. The aim of this research is to fill the gap in spiritual care within grassroots cultural services, to promote the transformation of county-level public culture from "coverage in form" to "effective benefits for the people," and to provide a readily applicable theoretical reference and practical paradigm for the implementation of county-level cultural welfare projects in the new era and the enhancement of quality and efficiency in grassroots public culture.
