Group art, the theme: what does worry look like?

The power of the unconscious mind, no hesitation from the group and complete engagement...when I praised the collaboration I was told 'it's easy, we all know worry'

Translate, don't react. By reacting your role modelling conflict, if children see and experience regulation they will learn this too.

Draw and Paws' last working day of the term ! Matilda came with me for session 12 with the most outstanding young people. All who have attended every session and engaged throughout the drawing and talking process of self healing.

I have worked with just over 100 children and young people this year not including those whom I support during lunchtime drop ins and who wander my way when feeling things are a bit too much. #
