Raising Connected, Happy, Successful Kids through Art

Learn simple and practical art therapy-based tools to help children and teens understand and express their emotions, communicate nonverbally when words aren’t working, build connections with others, develop problem-solving skills, confront fears and anxiety, and much more. Engage in hands-on art activities to promote creative problem solving and inspire the development of novel ideas for addressing challenging behaviors at home or in therapeutic settings. This workshop is for anyone with a child in their life, personally or professionally. It is intended for adults only.
 
This workshop is based on The Innovative Parent: Raising Connected, Happy, Successful Kids through Art, (Ohio University/Swallow Press, Spring 2019), the newly released book by art therapist Erica Curtis, LMFT, ATR-BC and Ping Ho, MA, MPH, Founder & Director of UCLArts & Healing. The book will be available for purchase at the workshop for $20. And attendees can enter a raffle to receive a free book!
