Art Therapy: Drawing


 
Jesus with Damsel in Distress

The first time I saw this picture, I was told it was Jesus and a runaway girl.  I also had a friend who purchased it for a Christian run domestic violence shelter.  It serves both situations: the audience viewing a work of art typically adds their perspective, and that can make a work of art deeply personal for a person.

Many runaways are abused children.  I am including a link the the National Runaway Switchboard.  This hotline offers help to runaways via referring them to a place where they can recieve help.

I am also including a link to an article written for the NRH that, based on their statistics, describes the characteristics of runaways.  Characteristics Of Help Seeking Youth.pdf
