As the world enters its third year of contending with a pandemic, dance/movement therapists are growing and evolving our clinical skills to meet the immediate needs of our clients, students, and patients. We’ve had to ask ourselves some challenging questions such as: How are dance/movement therapists uniquely addressing the needs of our clients, in person and via teletherapy?  What innovations and best practices are dance/movement therapists discovering as we encounter complex grief, burnout, anxiety, depression and medical issues in our clients and in ourselves?  How do we best support one another as we navigate this new normal?  
Save the Dates! April 25-30.
