Krissie Gibbs’ Social Work Story

By Krissie Gibbs

I currently work at a corrections facility with both the male and female population, sentenced and detained. Although I have a high caseload and respond to crisis on a regular basis, I always look forward to art therapy every Tuesday afternoon. My co-worker and I co-facilitate art therapy and although we facilitate the group we also find value in sharing that experience with our clients. In a way it’s a moment of self-care in our day as well.
