Hi Janine- We met at the Neufeld training in Vancouver and Edmonton, I’m the art therapist who works with Cowichan Tribes Child and Family Services. I’m preparing a presentation for the Managers here to talk about the Neufeld training I’ve done and the value of using this approach in our agency. My supervisor thought it would be helpful to hear from some others who are using this approach, why they think it’s effective and how they evaluated the success of this model as opposed to other strategies. I thought of you and Nikki, and wondered if you could take a few minutes to send me your thoughts on this, just briefly. I would appreciate it!
Have a great holiday season!
