Using Art Therapy to Address Bullying

Starr Commonwealth is a National Training Site for the LSCI Institute, which is how I happened to come across this great Blog posting from Starr's National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children (TLC).  Cathy Malchiodi, Phd, LPCC, CPAT is a TLC Trainer and author of several books, chapters, and articles in the field of art therapy.  She writes this post to talk about using art therapy--and in particular collage--to help victims of bullying explore feelings of power and powerlessness.  In the activity she describes here, kids are encouraged to think about increasing their personal power when facing bullies:
