Parity Bill Enacted!!
The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity Act an Addiction Equity Act of 2008 was passed in Congress and signed by President Bush on October 8th, 2008. It will require most private sector health plans to provide insurance coverage for mental and addictive disorder services on the same terms and conditions as other types of care.
What this means for art therapists, counselors, psychologists, and all mental health workers is still up the air. Congress will have to decide how to enforce this legislation. So stay tuned!!

The Impact of Race and Socio-Economic Status on the Lives of Our Clients
The Washington School of Psychiatry *presents*
*Clinical Conference: *
*The Impact of Race and Socio-Economic Status on the Lives of Our Clients
and on the Therapeutic Dyad*
Sponsored by
The Washington School of Psychiatry,
The Wendt Center for Loss and Healing,
Howard University Department of Psychiatry,
and chaired by Bruce Sklarew, MD
October 25, 2008
9:00 A.M. - 4:30 P.M.
Even experienced mental health professionals find working with marginalized
inner city populations very difficult. This population is often
characterized by low income, lack of educational and work opportunities,
discrimination, abuse, and trauma. At times, it is hard to focus on the
inner lives of our clients when basic needs or opportunities that we take
for granted are not so readily available to them. Considering these
difficulties, it can be easy to forget the strengths and resiliency within
this community. To work effectively with this population we need to
understand how these experiences affect our clients' lives outside our
offices as well as how they shape the ongoing therapeutic process and dyad
within the confines of our offices.
In this conference, we will explore the impact of race and socio-economic
status as they affect our clients' lives and the therapeutic process. Two
cases will be presented and discussed. The first case will be that of an
African American therapist, working with an African American patient. The
second presentation will be given by a Caucasian therapist working with a
biracial (African American and Cuban) child. In both cases, the impact of
both socio-economic as well as racial differences and similarities will be
explored as they affect both client and clinician.
*OBJECTIVES*
1. To increase our understanding and sensitivity to working with
marginalized inner city at risk populations and to understand how this work
differs and how it is the same as our work with less traumatized
populations.
2. To increase our understanding and sensitivity to the impact of race
and socio-economic factors on the therapeutic process.
3. To increase our awareness of inherent strengths and resiliency within
this marginalized community. This awareness may be utilized to foster the
therapeutic process.
*CONFERENCE FORMAT*
9:00-9:30 a.m. Registration and light breakfast

2008 AATA Conference Service Project Info
Art Therapy on the Cutting Edge: Invention and Innovation
2008 AATA Conference Service Project
November 19, 2008
“What Makes a House a Home”
The American Art Therapy Association and the Local Arrangements Committee (LAC) of the 2008
Conference in Cleveland invite you to participate in a Service Project that will draw upon your artistic
skills to benefit the people of a large community in need.
THE NEED
Cleveland, the host city of the 2008 AATA Conference, is one of the most impoverished cities in the country. Our service
project is designed to address this need by assisting Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity, an established service
organization already doing substantial work to remedy the poverty impacting the lives of so many people in this area. In
the spirit of our profession and our belief in the power of art, we are approaching this problem by utilizing our skills as artists.
Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity works in partnerships to eliminate substandard housing to enable needy families
to improve their lives. They create hope by building homes, strengthening neighborhoods and reweaving communities.
(Visit www.clevelandhabitat.org for more information about their work). The Cleveland Habitat affiliate has itself been
housed in a century-old, former brewery that does not serve its construction and human resource needs. This year they
are moving to a new site, which will allow them to vastly expand their scope and operations. Our 2008 AATA Conference
Service Project will help make their new house a home.
THE SERVICE PROJECT
You are invited to send us an 18”x18” painted canvas reflecting the theme “What makes a house a home?” Canvasses
received before the deadline of October 20, 2008 will be assembled into a permanent quilt-like Mural at the new Habitat
headquarters’, Restore. Restore, the largest recycler of construction materials in the county, is a store where used or
new donated construction goods, (i.e.: sinks, appliances, cabinetry, furniture and fixtures) are recycled and sold to the public
for pennies on the dollar. Restore helps members of the community rehab their homes and furthers Habitat’s mission
to eliminate substandard housing. The Mural will be assembled and mounted on a prominent wall in Restore as part of
the Service Project Day on Wednesday, November 19, 2008. We will be departing the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel
for Habitat at 9am. Activities will include mounting of the mural and other artistic volunteer projects. A lite lunch
will be provided on site and we will return to the hotel at 5pm. Register for this event as an AATA Conference
Special Event. Cost is $10 and is limited to 35 participants.
Meanwhile, here’s how you can contribute, even if you can’t join us in person on the service project day:
SERVICE NEED IDENTIFIED: Poverty
SERVICE ORGANIZATION: Cleveland Habitat for Humanity
PROJECT: Mural of assembled painted canvas squares
THEME: “What makes a house a home?”
FORMAT: 2-D acrylic or oil painting on 18”x18” un-stretched canvas or canvas paper. This piece is intended for
long term display, so any mixed media must be carefully adhered; lay flat on the canvas; and be sealed or
varnished. Squares will be assembled next to each other, so images on your 18” square should be painted up to
its edge. On the back of the canvas, please indicate which way is UP. You may submit more than one piece for
this project.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: Post-marked by October 20, 2008
MAILING REQUIREMENTS: Rolled or flat canvasses should be mailed to the address below with a statement
attached to the back of the canvas listing your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and a brief artist’s
description about your painting and the mural theme.

2008 AATA Conference Service Project
November 19, 2008
“What Makes a House a Home”
The American Art Therapy Association and the Local Arrangements Committee (LAC) of the 2008
Conference in Cleveland invite you to participate in a Service Project that will draw upon your artistic
skills to benefit the people of a large community in need.
THE NEED
Cleveland, the host city of the 2008 AATA Conference, is one of the most impoverished cities in the country. Our service
project is designed to address this need by assisting Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity, an established service
organization already doing substantial work to remedy the poverty impacting the lives of so many people in this area. In
the spirit of our profession and our belief in the power of art, we are approaching this problem by utilizing our skills as artists.
Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity works in partnerships to eliminate substandard housing to enable needy families
to improve their lives. They create hope by building homes, strengthening neighborhoods and reweaving communities.
(Visit www.clevelandhabitat.org for more information about their work). The Cleveland Habitat affiliate has itself been
housed in a century-old, former brewery that does not serve its construction and human resource needs. This year they
are moving to a new site, which will allow them to vastly expand their scope and operations. Our 2008 AATA Conference
Service Project will help make their new house a home.
THE SERVICE PROJECT
You are invited to send us an 18”x18” painted canvas reflecting the theme “What makes a house a home?” Canvasses
received before the deadline of October 20, 2008 will be assembled into a permanent quilt-like Mural at the new Habitat
headquarters’, Restore. Restore, the largest recycler of construction materials in the county, is a store where used or
new donated construction goods, (i.e.: sinks, appliances, cabinetry, furniture and fixtures) are recycled and sold to the public
for pennies on the dollar. Restore helps members of the community rehab their homes and furthers Habitat’s mission
to eliminate substandard housing. The Mural will be assembled and mounted on a prominent wall in Restore as part of
the Service Project Day on Wednesday, November 19, 2008. We will be departing the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel
for Habitat at 9am. Activities will include mounting of the mural and other artistic volunteer projects. A lite lunch
will be provided on site and we will return to the hotel at 5pm. Register for this event as an AATA Conference
Special Event. Cost is $10 and is limited to 35 participants.
Meanwhile, here’s how you can contribute, even if you can’t join us in person on the service project day:
SERVICE NEED IDENTIFIED: Poverty
SERVICE ORGANIZATION: Cleveland Habitat for Humanity
PROJECT: Mural of assembled painted canvas squares
THEME: “What makes a house a home?”
FORMAT: 2-D acrylic or oil painting on 18”x18” un-stretched canvas or canvas paper. This piece is intended for
long term display, so any mixed media must be carefully adhered; lay flat on the canvas; and be sealed or
varnished. Squares will be assembled next to each other, so images on your 18” square should be painted up to
its edge. On the back of the canvas, please indicate which way is UP. You may submit more than one piece for
this project.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: Post-marked by October 20, 2008
MAILING REQUIREMENTS: Rolled or flat canvasses should be mailed to the address below with a statement
attached to the back of the canvas listing your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and a brief artist’s
description about your painting and the mural theme.

ABOUT THE WASHINGTON WOMEN'S CHORUS
"As all right-thinking people agree, there are few things in life as
beautiful as the female voice--and if one is good, more are even
better. For proof, just turn your ears toward the Washington Women's
Chorus, which since 1996 has been bringing everything from medieval
chant to ultramodern new vocal works to the region."
--Stephen Brookes, The Washington Post, May 9, 2006
The 45-singer Washington Women's Chorus was founded in 1996 to present
Washington, DC area audiences with the wealth of choral music written
for women's voices. The WWC repertoire ranges from the 11th Century
chants of Abbess Hildegard von Bingen, to compositions by Vivaldi and
Brahms, to new works by American and international composers.
The chorus has premiered more than 40 choral pieces in the Washington
metropolitan area including many recent works by women composers.

Washington, DC
Exploring elements of Native female identity, we ask, How does art influence children? How do romantic images of Indians enchant Native and non-Native people, young and old?
Conversion (2006, 8 min.) Director: Nanobah Becker (Navajo).
In a remote corner of the Navajo Nation, circa 1950, a visit by Christian missionaries has catastrophic consequences for a family. In Navajo with English subtitles.
Disney’s Pocahontas (1995, 84 min.) Directors: Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg.
Free-spirited Pocahontas lives a carefree life with her animal friends Meeko and Flit and the companionship of her loving Grandmother Willow. When English settlers arrive on the shores of their village, a chance encounter with Captain John Smith begins a friendship that changes both cultures forever.

STRANGE LOVE
Sunday, October 5, 2pm
Elmer and Mary Louise Rasmuson Theater
National Museum of the American Indian
4th Street and Independence Avenue SW
Washington, DC
National issues of sovereignty and cultural acceptance often affect Native people on a personal level. Many individuals must search for life's greatest moments—marriage, childrenm etc.—within the confines of blood quantum. This government-mandated system, which defines citizenship by how much "Indian blood" someone has, leads many Native people to question their cultural worth, asking, is identity in my blood?
Club Native (2008, 78 min.) Director: Tracey Deer (Mohawk)
On the Mohawk Kahnawake Reserve there are two very firm but unwritten rules: don’t marry a white man and don’t have a child with a white man. Doing so means losing all standing as a Native person, for you and your children. Documentarian Tracey Deer follows four women from Kahnawake as they battle the pressures of life, love, and community to protect their status as tribal members, as well as the rights of their spouses and children to live on tribal lands.
Moderated discussion led by Gabrielle Tayac (Piscataway) with filmmaker Tracey Deer to follow the screening.
