About this event
Facilitators: Robert Franklin, Programs Manager, Children's Hospital Colorado and Katherine Reed, Creative Arts Therapist, Children's Hospital Colorado
Description: Many of us are aware of emotional intelligence and the impact of tapping into our own feelings and the feelings of others. Too often we struggle with ways to engage with, and talk about our emotions, especially in program. In this session, we will explore different ways to approach talking about the emotions we come in contact with from a lens of art therapy.
Takeaways:
- Define emotional literacy for staff working with/for youth
- Opportunities to engage with different modalities of expression
- Discuss how difference impacts how we address emotions
Session Style: Lecture & Interactive workshop
