UCLArts & Healing has organized this workshop where participants can learn simple and practical art therapy-based tools to help children and teens understand and express their emotions. Led by Erica Curtis (LMFT, ATR-BC) and Ping Ho (MA, MPH), the free program will offer creative tools for redirecting and shifting energy in children; getting attention without having to use one’s voice; establishing boundaries and engaging cooperation playfully; communicating nonverbally, when words aren’t working; supporting emotional safety and academic effort with non-judgmental language; responding to difficult emotions or traumatic stress reactions; facilitating interpersonal problem solving and decision making; and building self-care into daily life. Hands-on art activities will help promote creative problem solving and inspire the development of novel ideas for addressing challenging behaviors. Light refreshments will be served following the program, which is for adults only. Register online.
