If you know of anyone who may be interested in art therapy programs for children coping with chronic illness, here is a new opportunity:
Arlington County is launching Coping Creatively, an art therapy group for children and kids of all ages in the greater DC metro area who are coping with chronic illness, like cancer, kidney or heart disease, or diabetes. This dynamic group is for kids who want to have fun and explore new recreational modalities with others who are facing similar challenges.
The expressive art therapy groups are led by Rachel Schreibman, a master's level Art Therapist. The group will engage in visual arts, drumming, cooperative games and more, with the goal of reducing stress, learning new expressive outlets, and connecting kids and families coping with illness.
The group meets at Lee Arts Center located at 5722 Lee Highway in Arlington, VA. The cost per class varies based on the duration of the group, and financial assistance is available. The dates of the program are flexible; currently the group meets Fridays from 4 - 5:30pm, however, the days and times may change based on interested participants' availability. Interested families with kids of all ages should contact Rachel Schreibman at 703-228-1534 or rschreibman@arlingtonva.us to learn more!
