Train Clinicians
The Emerald Sketch trains Creative Arts therapists globally in our proprietary trauma response sequence, empowering clinicians to help families turn trauma and grief symptoms into resiliency and greater internal balance.
Connect Art Therapists & Clients
We directly connect art therapists with clients and organizations in regions with a recent history of trauma and loss. We offer high quality individual, group, or family art therapy sessions.
Heal Individuals & Communities
As individuals gain relief from the symptoms of post trauma and/or complex grief, it brings awareness for greater health within each individual, thus broadening health within the family and the community.
The most efficient path to insight is non-verbal art making.
Science-based and rooted in the neurobiology of how humans heal, art therapy is an incredible mechanism for change. The Emerald Sketch specializes in engaging clients in non-verbal art therapy following a traumatic experience. Art making with a qualified art therapist allows clients to safely express their feelings, fears, and emotions and helps them to process trauma and make internal neurobiological shifts.
Specializing in early childhood mass trauma response
Our children are living through unprecedented times—from school shootings, to the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and socio-political unrest. The Emerald Sketch is one of the few organizations that specializes in both mass trauma response and early childhood therapy, working delicately and enthusiastically with children, adolescents, and their families to organize devastating experiences and live more fully in the moment.
