Broadway at the Boathouse...OVATION! a Smashing Success
|
| |
We are still hearing such great feedback from all who attended Broadway at the Boathouse...Ovation! We have now exceeded last year's benefit income by over 29%! These proceeds will help to fund essential drama therapy programs, like the one with refugees in partnership with the International Rescue Committee (IRC). Many people were especially touched by the poignant stories shared by Delia and Angele (pictured right), two women in our program at the IRC.
Please listen to Angele's story here.

CANY Staff Attend Trauma Conference
|
|
Last month, our Executive Director, Jonathan Hilton, and CANY Program Assistant Jason Frydman visited Boston to attend the 22nd Annual International Trauma Conference. Jason Frydman reports:
My recent participation at the conference in Boston, MA began with a special pre-conference training to learn about the Attachment Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC) model of complex trauma care. The two day intensive session featured key elements of the ARC model as applied within therapeutic institutions. This informative workshop furthered my understanding of the importance of every caregiver in a child's life. All hands play an equally important role in re-establishing a foundation for children, whose experience of the world has shifted from stability to turbulence as a result of repeated exposure to trauma.
The remainder of the conference included exceptional speakers who presented advanced research on the benefits of embodied psychotherapy, as well as its role in helping traumatized children. I was deeply encouraged by the focus on creative arts interventions for beneficial therapeutic engagement.
All in all, the conference was informative and enlightening. What I learned re-affirmed my core therapeutic beliefs, and I am enthusiastic about applying this new knowledge to my work here at CANY.
