What graduate school program allows you to relearn what it means to be a child in such a tangible way? Welcome to the Mars Hill Graduate School Counseling Psychology program.
During the summer term course entitled Counseling Children and Adolescents, taught by Dr. Steve Call, we have been learning that to be a therapist to children and adolescents we have to relearn what it means to be a child. In other words, we have to learn how to play again. During class students were given a break from the lecture time and handed buckets of chalk. The only instructions given by Steve were, “go play.”
Games of hopscotch began not long after that, along with artistic expressions inspired by the beautiful Seattle summer day. There is never a dull moment at MHGS.
