During the pandemic, we made adaptions to our programming to provide individual and family-centered virtual programs: doi.org/10.1080/074216… We also discuss cultural adaptations of art therapy experientials to best meet the needs of our families served.

While we didn’t originally intend for this PhotoVoice / art therapy program w/ @ArabAmericanMus to be virtual, the onset of COVID led us to expand beyond a study of immigration experienced through the photography lens to capture experiences in lockdown: doi.org/10.1016/j.aip.…
