In this episode I speak with Shiri, a Clinical Social Worker and Art Therapist. She has spent over 25 years working with children and adults who have experienced trauma, and mental health professionals who work with them. Her work spans private practice, public facilitation and research. Throughout her work, Shiri has found that art is a wonderful tool in which children (and adults) can communicate a vast variety of feelings in a non-threatening way. In addition to individual therapy and running therapeutic groups for women and children, Shiri has spent the last few years refining a model for preschools, using creative groups.
