Disaster Relief for Art Therapists [Recorded Training]
In this pre-recorded training, I discuss art therapy for disaster relief and how to engage community outreach amidst the pandemic. I begin with by reviewing my background and involvement with the Sandy Hook Healing Project, followed by an interactive presentation.
Psychological Safety during Mass Trauma Response for Community Leaders
Custom workshops for community leaders and adults looking to elevate their leadership skills and calm focus while working with children or families affected by mass trauma. Consists of experiential art therapy practices rooted in trauma response.
Certificate Program for Creative Arts Therapists
Our in-depth clinical training covers all of the Emerald Sketch trauma sequences applied post-mass trauma. Whatever your clinical setting, these innovative, yet ancient practices will bring your work into the modern era at a pace that is uplifting and comfortable to work with the most challenging clients of all ages. Upon completion of this training, clinicians are awarded an Official Emerald Sketch Art therapy Trauma Response Training Certificate.
An American Nightmare, The Play
This play is a direct response to the tender revelations that I was fortunate to experience in building relationships with many of the families that survived the Sandy Hook School Tragedy. I chose to create this play first and foremost to educate other creative arts therapists on the inner workings of masterful art therapy trauma response.
