Not Alone Radio Program, Aug. 23: Art Therapy

Our broadcast regarding art therapy opened new doors and new horizons for me. It was extremely impressive to see the many ways visual art and creative design can help a person focus on their own inner world of thoughts and images. Our guests spoke of helping students de-escalate after a classroom crisis; one youngster used Legos to smooth out internal frustrations, to calm and soothe, then be ready to return to their work as a student, equipped to make the rest of the day a successful learning experience.
