Drexel University. She is a board-certified psychiatrist and has written several books, including one co-authored with Brian Farragher of Andrus Children's Center titled, Destroying Sanctuary: The Crisis in Human Service Delivery. (Coming soon via Oxford University Press.) CANY honors her commitment to the therapeutic use of theatre.

therapy. However, you may not know what feedback we received from the workshop participants.
Hear what one participant had to say at the end of the day. Then, visit CANY's website to read what people want you to know about CANY professional trainings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We want YOUR feedback too! Tell us if you'd like to be a future workshop participant. Or suggest a topic for the day.
