Luisa Mariño García is a registered and licensed graduate art therapist, who obtained her master's degree at the George Washington University. She is interested in art therapy in community-based settings, its role in post-conflict situations and in inclusive education programs.
Psychosocial support programs are an intrinsic part of a sustainable and successful social reincorporation of ex-combatants in post-conflict situations. This project proposes that art therapy could be of service to facilitate communication among community members, promote acceptance, increase self-reflection, and preserve memories of personal and historical relevance.
