6/26/2012 - The Benefits of Art Therapy

Rachel Schreibman decided to become an Art Therapist for people on dialysis after she received a kidney transplant from her identical twin and was able to avoid dialysis. She learned how many people were on dialysis due to the long wait list for a kidney and wanted to help them with activities during their treatments. Art therapy has shown to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals. Rachel will share some of the creative projects she has done with patients and what she has learned.
