The Arts Therapy Department at Whittier Street Health Center is dedicated to using the healing power of the arts to promote learning and help continue to establish Whittier’s commitment to the overall continuum of care.
Arts Therapists are trained to combine the healing effect of music, dance, drama, poetry, and art with counseling, therapeutic, and educational processes.
Whittier’s Art Therapists work in partnership with more than 75 area schools, after-school programs, youth agencies, hospitals, child care centers, and shelters. Over 2,000 children, adults, and elders receive services each year.
