Theme: Our special guest is Chris Larsen, from Winnipeg, MA. This M&M will focus on felting as a therapeutic intervention, with an emphasis on how felting can be used by therapists for self-care and directly in client sessions. We like to emphasis the rational for arts interventions, and will talk about how to explain to clients (if they are highly verbal, cognitive, or curious clients) the benefits of de-centering from the client’s the central “problem” or “challenge” with an artistic activity.
As well as: Networking, sharing resources and techniques.
Bring: Your lunch or a snack, a notebook or art journal, a therapy friend or colleague
