ART THERAPISTS MAKING THINGS HAPPEN!

Peggy Gulshen, LMFT, ATR-BC, founded and developed the Children's Bereavement Art Group (CBAG) program in April of 1985. The first group of five latency-aged children were grieving the deaths of parents and siblings. Peggy worked for Sutter Hospice, serving the child family members of hospice patients. Many of these bereaved kids would inquire about other children that Peggy visited, also grieving the death of a loved one. It was clear that they were seeking out the camaraderie of other children experiencing loss.
