A Pediatric Art Therapy Program
I feel better when I come here.
An eleven year old girl whose father had been battling cancer for quite some time participated actively in art therapy sessions provided by Tracy's Kids in Northern Virginia. It is easy to imagine the fear and tension, maybe confusion, that would be in the mind of a child in that situation. One afternoon in early 2009, as the little girl left the art room, she discreetly left behind a Post-it note. Her brief message—a mere nine words—says all that needs to be said about Tracy's Kids.About Us
