The goal of this program is to provide a bridge of community services enabling homeless women to reach self-sufficiency.Art therapy, provided by graduate students of Marywood College under the supervision of the program director, is a means of evaluation and continuing personal development.Individual evaluation sessions, group art therapy experiences and a case study of a woman who has successfully completed the one year program are presented to demonstrate the use of art therapy in a program for homeless women and their children.
