Project Report | Mar 29, 2021
Looking Forward

Artistic Creative Therapies Team

As we have shared with you before, the COVID-19 Pandemic have not stopped us.  If anything, we have been creative in our outreach efforts to bring our services to everyone.  By using digital platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Zoom, we can reach a wider audience than the one who can come to our center.  In January 2021 we started opening our offices to receive participants from the Mejor Vida program, for counseling and psychological therapy.  We have been following the COVID-19 safety measures necessary to guarantee the well-being of everyone.  For those who cannot come to a    person-to-person appointment, we still schedule phone or Zoom meetings. 

On February, our program CODAMO launched “Talleres Estima”, a series of workshops for women to work on self-esteem.  Four workshops, one weekly, on the subjects of: who am I, communication and emotional intelligence, anxiety and stress management, healing of emotional wounds. We had a wonderful group of women of a wide range of agers participating in the workshops.  Several of these women realized their need for prolonged therapy services and were referred to our Mejor Vida program for counseling and psychological therapy.

March is the month of Creative Artistic Therapies and in Casa sin Fronteras we celebrate big.  During the past few years, we successfully had one day of different Creative Artistic Therapies workshops for the whole family at our center.  This year, because of the pandemic, we could not have an on site gathering of hundreds of people, so we opted for a whole month of online workshops and seminars.  Each week of the month is dedicated to one type of a Creative Artistic Therapy: March 1-5 Art Therapy, March 8-12 Music Therapy, March 12-19 Dance-Movement Therapy, March 22-24 Psychodrama Therapy.  We have also had the honor of hosting three international panels of therapists on Dance-Movement, Art, and Music.  This is groundbreaking and we are excited on future alliances and projects that may come after this.  Since all the workshops and seminars are online, we have been able to have participants from different parts of the island and people who otherwise may have not been able to come to our center.  Also, we have had participants from other countries, as well. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a worldwide tragedy in many aspects, but our spirit is resilient, and we look forward to keep motivating and helping others to a better life.
