Raising Connected, Happy, Successful Kids through Art in Challenging Times

Our free HOPE (Healing Online for People Everywhere) Series was created to enable our global community to build resilience through the arts during this unprecedented time. Learn more here.

During this unprecedented time, children and teens (and their parents!) need support more than ever. Learn simple and practical art therapy-based tools to connect when words aren’t working, facilitate understanding and healthy expression of emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and much more. Engage in hands-on art activities to inspire the development of novel ideas for addressing challenging behaviors at home or in therapeutic contexts. This online workshop is for anyone with a child in their life, personally or professionally. It is intended for adults only.

This workshop is based on The Innovative Parent: Raising Connected, Happy, Successful Kids through Art, (Ohio University/Swallow Press), the 2019 National Parenting Products Award-winning book by art therapist Erica Curtis, LMFT, ATR-BC and Ping Ho, MA, MPH, Founder & Director of UCLArts & Healing.

Those who sign up for the workshop will receive a special handout with instructions for key activities from the book! Attendees will also receive access to a recording of the workshop afterward.
