2012 Workshops
Centering Corporation’s Creative Healing Presents:
Being Heard - A Creative Healing Program
Using the Arts in Dealing with the Grief of At-Risk Youth
This year Creative Healing is taking an exciting new turn – focusing on the needs of a specific age group. Unresolved grief is a major component in the lives of at-risk youth – including losses due to peer/family death, incarceration, relocation, substance abuse, financial/social status, educational opportunities and more. Using the arts to deal with that grief offers these troubled young people valuable tools for expression, growth and healing. Counselors, social workers, teachers, members of the clergy and others who work with this explosive population will be given the means to help the youngsters explore and communicate their buried pain and become empowered by their discoveries about themselves, their losses and their connections to others.
