During a training on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) this week, our staff took part in an exercise in "Bilateral Drawing".
This activity involves using both hands while drawing, which will activate the right and left hemisphere of the brain. The intent is not necessarily to make a specific image, but to instead just engage both hands in spontaneous drawing. When combined with therapy, bilateral drawing or movements can help with self-regulation, calming, and processing trauma.
Check out some of our creations below!
To learn more about ACEs, we recommend this short video on trauma-informed care: youtu.be/fWken5DsJcw
