Vitendo 4 Africa
Refugee children are vulnerable and traumatized from the experience of being transplanted to the U.S. We are providing expressive arts therapy in a group setting to help them with expressing their feelings and emotions to provide healing. The use of a culturally acceptable behavioral health approach, with the principles of trauma intervention on safety, calming, self-efficacy, connectedness, and hope will address the mental health needs of these youth and help them to attain educational success with limited English proficiency.
