Expressive Art Therapy

I developed a list of research articles, ideas, and therapeutic ways to allow the teens I work with at the Safe House to express there feelings and emotions in a non-threatening way. I presented my ideas to the management team and the Director Val Stotts, such a great lady. She LOVED my ideas and had me present to the rest of our staff. We are implementing an Expressive Arts Therapy group once a week based off of what I brought to the table. HOW EXCITING!!!!!

There is SO much out there. My list was composed from many different sources and contains close to 120 ideas from edible Kool-Aid homemade playdough, glow in the dark bubbles, scratch and sniff paint, mask making, string art, collaging, Value boxs, Graditude Trees and SO MUCH MORE!!!!
Hot Glue Gun Art


String Art (I did this and it is so much FUN & so relaxing!!)

 
I am so honored to be able to assit such an amazing program for teens develop in a way that provides therapeutic support to our distressed young people!! I LOVE that I can help!!
