The power of art to help teens and children express themselves is amazing. Thank you for sharing this very helpful information. It truly is about caring and thinking outside the box when working with youth. Art therapy is an important part of teen counseling as well as children therapy.

BRAVO!
This is very exciting! As a retired teacher, I can truly appreciate the use of art therapy in juvenile corrections applications. I saw the difference in my at risk students, lower achievers, those with difficult home lives, when they were able to express themselves through art during the school day. It made such a difference in their self-esteem and ability to focus, to socially interact with their peers on a positive level. Gave them emotional relief and relaxation from whatever inner turmoil was otherwise at the forefront of their thoughts and reactions.
