Mick is a drama therapist and therapeutic play practitioner working with kids and teens. All of their work, whether we’re talking about it directly or not, is rooted in the belief that play is a radical act of body liberation, something that belongs to all humans as our birthright.Learn more about the nuances to this question in our blog post. https://realworkwellness.com/therapist-blog/how-to-respond-if-your-child-asks-am-i-fat

Rainbows, potions, chalk art OH MY! Last day of fairytale magic camp. So many joyful memories made together. 🌈

Anywhere can be a stage if you use your imagination. 🌈

Today’s drama campers for to practice their play “The Magic Stew” and assembled a stew of their own creation. We also made enchanted wands, magic rocks, and obstacle courses.

Drama camp is designed to meet kids where they are and go at their own pace. The play ( which we can’t wait to perform for parents this week) was created around each child’s individual comfort level and written to gently challenge them while still staying within their window of tolerance. The biggest message we hope the kids receive is “all of you, is welcome here.”

We are proud to offer outdoor therapy options for the kids that who need to expand beyond 4 walls to heal. Check our website to see what options are currently available. https://realworkwellness.com/naturebased
