What a group meeting looks like
Each meeting includes time for greeting each other, learning and practicing new skills, and discussing how that could be helpful in therapy. Pati Palmer will teach crochet techniques, show how she has used yarn in sessions, and share research on using yarn arts in therapy. We provide tea, coffee, and light snacks for participants.

- teach your clients creative and productive coping skills
