Oh, Yes! Great work being done! I myself am looking for how to create a recovery program with the information and art, that I have put together over the years of my own, recovery from mental confusion. Taken 50 plus years, but it is completed and I now have to find where this tool can be applied to “Help”! All good luck with your program! Is a long, hard path trodden, to do good works. Please, Continue to Continue!

It is amazing to me, that the cultural aspect of a group of people being worked with, has taken so long to become deemed important! How long that it has taken to appreciate the healing cultures, of our forefathers. Realize that each individual, is socialized into their cultures, which makes it a part of the individual’s experience, perspective and way to understand everything. Guess that is what happens when humanity, uses denial as a way of life, instead of the survival tool that it is meant to be.

Thank you for this post–this whole blog! I’m experiencing such relief from PTSD since giving myself totally to Art Therapy. It could change the world and I’m so glad you are doing so much to communicate about Art Therapy online. It made it less intimidating to search and find compassionate voices about PTSD.

This looks like a really beautifully combined way of working where the Women are able to lead and work from an Indigenous perspective. As is the way that would work more sucessfully, this makes sense!
Well done and keep up the brilliant work.

I am sure there are lots of Art Therapist’s out there who would like to work with Indigenous people (you can include me in this)so I am hoping this work will expand. It would be great if Lee and other’s working successfully with Indigenous people gave training or presentations perhaps, if this is appropriate in order for others to learn.
Either way, I am glad this is such a successful program.
