For children who have been hurt emotionally, drawing can serve as the language that speaks to caring professionals often before speech can. This exhibition explores how art therapy helps children who have been the victims of abuse or suffered trauma in their lives. Displayed artworks are from valley children who have attended programs or sessions at Childhelp, a non-profit organization dedicated to the investigation and treatment of child abuse.
