This training will illuminate the concepts of art expression and illustrate how advocates can create activities that support children and adults. Best practice in the use of art will be discussed including what art activities and supplies help and which ones can cause harm. You will leave with creative and trauma-informed ideas to use in shelter programming providing support to children and adults.
