In August, under the soft glow of an eclipsing sky, a group of therapists, students, social workers, and artists gathered for ENACT’s 2017 Summer Intensive. The 2-day Institute taught participants trauma-informed methods of engaging, captivating, and connecting with students and clients in fun and active ways. Pulling expertise from 30 years of direct service to put-at-risk youth in NYC public schools, ENACT facilitators challenged participants to broaden their view of trauma and how it affects those with whom they work. The end result of the two days was 14 hours of Continuing Education Credit, inspiration as well as turn-key methods to be utilized immediately, and a deep sense of community built between the professionals present.

What our participants said:

“Thanks for…a wonderful workshop. It truly was filled with unique, interesting, fun, and caring people both participants & presenters. I too can not stop thinking about the two days.”  -Laura, Art Therapist, Hearts & Crafts Counseling

“Thanks to ENACT! It was an extraordinarily informative workshop. I enjoyed very much to be a part of the group and gained quite a bit of confidence in the middle of my recovery process from my brain surgery in June.”-Toshiko, Art Therapist, Origami Therapy Association
