Drawing as a Communication Tool 101

 

 

Join us for a fun event on July 11th and July 18th where we'll learn how creative drawing
exercises can benefit those we work with. 

The South Southwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center has identified the powerful impact of drawing as a communication tool in client-centered direct services and advocacy work. Accordingly, the goal of this introductory virtual workshop is for the Center’s staff and collaborators, including peer navigators and students, to become familiar with drawing as a communication tool and to gain skills around integrating its use to enhance their work.
