Children, Trauma and the Arts

Peter Collins

Describes how effective drawing, theater, music, dance and writing can be in helping kids process their fears and find equilibrium after a traumatic experience. The book is based on the work the Arts Bus Project (a mobile art studio, free library, music space and pocket theater, housed in a renovated school bus, based in Randolph, Vermont), staff did with young people in Central Vermont whose lives were challenged by Tropical Storm Irene.
