This week we examine how the arts help children process and express their thoughts and feelings, especially right now when they are experiencing many complex emotions.

Kathy Thornton-Bias, President & CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee and Catie O’Donnell, theater teacher at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, join us to share their experience and insights.

"Kids need opportunities to have their voices heard," says Kathy. "They may not be able to express it in a way that adults understand, but they are processing it with the vocabulary and emotion that they have at their disposal at that age and they are very much wanting to express what they think and what they feel."

This episode includes information on programs and resources that UPAF Member Groups are offering for youth during this time, as well as some tips for parents looking to support their kids' creative expression this summer.
