I had just discovered your website through Pinterest. Very informative and interesting! I work in the mental health sector and we try to use sports and expressive arts therapies as intervention as well. In Singapore. Your ideas help :) Thanks!
Hi, Thank you for your blog. It is great and I've used a bunch of your ideas and resources in my art therapy work at a children's hospital. I requested the book you mentioned from our medical library but in the interim, would you mind sharing the safe list of coping skills please? It sounds great! If not, thank you anyway. Keep up the great work! Regards, Heather Stemas, M Ed, ATR-BC, LCPAT
So glad to hear that you're finding the ideas helpful in your work. Here's a link to a PDF that I found online of the Seeking Safety safe coping skills. Depending on the age of children you are seeing, you might want to create another handout for yourself for younger kids. I use this for middle school and up. I also re-wrote mine to remove some of the refernces to PTSD and addiction so that it's more relatable for everyone.
