- Notes
Drawing and Talking Therapy can be brought to your setting or school
You will need to provide an undisturbed, safe and low stimulus environment which will become the safe space for the young person for the duration of the therapy. You will need to provide a suitable table and two chairs.
Each session will last 30 minutes and will be carried out over a period of 12 weeks on average, depending on the needs of the young person.
Sessions will need to happen at the same time and day of the week for 12 weeks - this reinforces the importance of the therapeutic practice and the importance it gives the young person.
