Guest Speaker: Art Therapy

Another BIG thank you to Ms. Bernardita Castillo  who was our second guest speaker for the Exhibition this year.  She gave us a great talk about the role of Art Therapy and  the mental health of children today.  I like seeing all the examples she gave us of the importance of art therapy from famous painters like Van Gogh all the way to the children who participate in Teletón and schools here in Santiago.  It was clear that art therapy helps balance the physical and mental health of everyone!


What were some interesting things that you learned from this guest speaker?  What was interesting to you about her discussion?  Has it encouraged you to find out more about other therapies and balance in our lives?


I look forward to reading your comments!
