I am offering a weekly support group for children who are suffering from social and emotional difficulties due to early childhood trauma. Through a variety of art activities, the students are given opportunities to express their pain as well as hope for their futures. The students develop trust with the other group members and learn to use self expression to deal with the challenges in their lives. They gain healthy communication skills that benefit them in their classrooms and homes. The children will form the clay into a vessel to represent a container for all they treasure. They will paint a picture that shows a personal strength, and cut paper to construct a structure of hope. The materials you provide will go directly into the hands of hurting children to create healing art.
