“J. is 9 years old and a very angry boy; he was out of control, kicking, punching, biting and spitting.  All the teachers felt at our wits’ end as to how to work with him. Now after nine months of working with the Dramatherapist in BCAT, J`s stories are beginning to speak of hope, of togetherness and of ‘ happy safe places ’ rather than desperation. His challenging behaviour has considerably lessened. He is much more approachable and able to relate to other children."
