The item of interest I have chosen is a
website that presents about 100 different art therapy exercises. The website was
put together by an emotion-focused counselor which provides external links to sources
where ideas for activities are given. Some are better suited for work with
younger students, others are more appropriate for work with older students, and
others would be great for groups. I have been able to apply several of these
lessons to my students who have a hard time expressing themselves verbally. These
activities have been a great way of introducing topics of family, self-esteem, relationships,
etc. The website breaks down the activities in different categories, so it is
easy to find an activity that targets the population one is working with.
As school social workers, there is nothing like a collection of ideas and resources to add to our toolboxes! The school social work students at Dominican University will be sharing items of interest that they have found useful in practice. We hope this site continues to grow and we can share tips and resources for practice!
