Text Box: FRIDAY September 18th 2009 8:45 am—coffee, narrative networking and nibblies 9:15am to noon—presentation Location: Family Service Toronto Building 355 Church Street Toronto, Ontario CANADA Tree of Life: An arts-based narrative counseling approach to working with children who have experienced trauma or difficult times Presented by Angel Yuen click here for bio When children experience trauma such as abuse, witnessing violence, death of a family member or hard times such as severe poverty, they may not want to readily talk about their experiences.  This workshop will describe the Tree of Life exercise which can be used with children individually or in groups to provide them with a safe and comfortable context to talk about their hard experiences.  Children are invited to draw colourful trees to represent their life (the roots to represent where they are from, the trunk to signify what they are good at, and the leaves to represent all of the important people in their life, etc).  Afterwards, a conversation is opened up about the ‘storms’ that trees (and children) might face.  Using ‘storms’ as a metaphor can be therapeutic as children begin to share the storms they have faced…but more significantly they become keen to share their knowledge and ideas of how trees and children can get through storms.
