2012 – 2017 Developed an art therapy program model in conjunction with the National Parks Service (NPS) as part of the Healthy Parks, Healthy People initiative. The initial art therapy program was launched in 2012 at Weir Farm National Historic Park in Wilton, CT and has been adapted by other NPS programs throughout the country. The model used NPS resources to support emotional health through in-park day and specialized-care programs facilitated by an art therapist-in-residence. (See page 3 of the NPS 2018-2023 Strategic Plan and page 36 of the NPS Public Lands Engagement Report for more information on this project).
