I am happy to share my recently released ADTA Talk about the use of dance/movement therapy with veterans and military personnel. Today is military mental health awareness day, so please feel free to share widely. Thank you.
Yours,
Allison

Mark your calendars. I will be presenting on April 4th in College Park, MD. Hope to see you there!
Happy New Year all. At the ADTA conference in Brooklyn, NY this past October I participated in a project called ADTA Talks. Fifteen dance/movement therapists spoke about the work that they do in a TED Talks style presentation. I was priviledged to be one of those chosen few DMT’s. My talk was focused on my experiences practicing DMT with veterans and active duty military as I am among the onlyDMT’s in the world that have the exceptional honor to work with this population. If you missed ADTA Talks, don’t worry; the inspiring presentations will be available on YouTube soon. So stay tuned!
