Termination in Supervision
Recently, another Art Therapist at the hospital moved on to a new opportunity. She had originally started a Mail Art group for the sex offenders which they really enjoyed. So, on her last day, during supervision, the other Art Therapists in the group all made her a post card, and wrote a personal message to her. She gave us her new address and we sent her our "Mail Art." This was a fun and creative way to say good-bye, share some memories of our experiences, and express sentiments about our work together.

Could you please tell me more about the Mail Art directive? It sounds like it is an ongoing project. So glad to hear that it continued to be a part of the group through the termination process.
The Art Therapist who left ran a group for the patients where they made cards, postcards, envelopes, etc. to mail to family and friends. Sometimes she would have directives for them to go by, but the patients preferred to create free art for their designs. When she left the hospital, I thought it would be nice if the rest of us made her a piece of mail art. Our themes ranged from our experiences together and what the future would hold for her. Thanks for your comment, and let me know if you have any other questions!
