Our Calvary Team had an amazing week with Puppet Theater and Puppet Workshops at Camp Compass! "These experiences are particularly good when words are difficult or insufficient to express how you feel,” said Edgardo Lugo, Director of Bereavement at Calvary and a registered Play Therapist Supervisor and Certified Group Psychotherapist. Allowing children to project their thoughts and feelings onto the puppets and the narratives they create can reduce the pressure and fear of judgment that children might feel when expressing their grief, according to Behavioral Health Bereavement Counselor Joanne Castellanos. “It’s playful. It’s meaningful for children of all ages because theatre gives them control over their environment and a different understanding of loss,” explained Castellanos. Hand puppets and storytelling took center stage at Calvary Hospital’s CampCompass® from August 11th to 15th. The only camp of its kind in New York, CampCompass uses puppets and theatre as powerful tools in helping children cope with grief and loss who have experienced the death of a loved one.
