Latinx Family Art Therapy

Latinx Family Art Therapy Resource Pack (Printable PDF)

A culturally grounded, bilingual art therapy resource pack for therapists, counsellors, and school-based practitioners working with Latinx children, teens, and families. Built on research in ethnic-racial socialisation, cultural identity, somatic awareness, and family systems — so every activity does more than fill a session. It builds the protective factors that help young people stay grounded when the world gets hard.
