Children and teens (and their parents!) need support more than ever during these challenging times. Learn simple and practical art therapy-based tools to connect when words aren’t working, to facilitate understanding and healthy expression of emotions, to develop problem-solving skills, and much more.

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), the 2019 National Parenting Products Award-winning book by art therapist Erica Curtis, LMFT, ATR-BC and Ping Ho, MA, MPH, Founder & Director of UCLArts & Healing.

Those who sign up for the workshop will receive a special handout with instructions for key activities from the book!

Note that this popular workshop is a repeat of the inaugural online offering in 2020.

Saturday, February 20 from 10:30am-noon.
