Paige and Keith will be presenting the following workshops:

Get Social: Music Therapy for Social Interaction and Self Expression
Experience positive self-expression while making meaningful social connections with others through music. During this introductory Music Therapy workshop, participants will experience how music making can be a successful experience for all, regardless of musical background, challenge, or ability.
Get On the Same Page:  Find Joy and Self-Expression within Group Art Therapy
Group art creation can be a wonderful!  However, sometimes finding the balance between self and others and between independence and collaboration can be difficult.  This workshop will be an introduction to a group art therapy method, which will allow participants to explore, reflect, and find ways to achieve satisfaction amidst creative compromise.

Therapies That Move You:  Drama Therapy and Dance/Movement Therapy

No matter what you challenge or ability level, physical and imaginative self-expression creates pathways to better mental health. This workshop will provide a playful introduction to Drama Therapy and Dance/Movement Therapy.  Experience how both therapies employ similar and different methods to let mind and body communicate powerfully together.
