Spirituality, Child Trauma and Expressive Arts

Listen to this sample broadcast by Dr. Michael Phelps talking about "Spirituality, Child Trauma, and Expressive Arts" originally recorded on October 27th, 2012.

Podcast Summary: 
This session focuses on the relationship between expressive arts and spirituality when working with children that have been traumatized. The presenter's experiences with children at a large homeless shelter and an orphanage in Mexico will be highlighted. The more we learn about the connection between the arts and spirituality, the better we can help children heal by encouraging them to access the strength that comes from their faith.
