GEXTH 6420 Expressive Therapies in Nicaragua: Special Needs Populations
This course is designed to explore the challenges of creating relevant and responsive therapeutic collaborations that address the realities of "special needs" communities in Nicaragua. Students will engage in an experiential exploration of the dynamics of poverty and its implications on mental health within the larger context of Nicaraguan history as it relates to historical and intergenerational trauma. An ethical lens to expressive arts therapies orientations and their application within international communities will be explored.
