Welcome to the Voices for Voices (VfV) Podcast, where we discuss the triumphs and challenges of real mental health journeys. We give ordinary people a platform on which to share their unique perspectives about living with disabilities, experiences in healing and thriving with mental illness, and more.

Our mission is to provide educational materials, workshops, and seminars designed to assist individuals with mental health, career advancement, and practical solutions to help manage workplace issues.

Our vision is to make mental health a non-negotiable priority for people everywhere coupled with long-term career development to become a healthy and productive member of society.

Stay tuned for meaningful and eye-opening chats with me, your host, Justin Alan Hayes, as we share, listen, learn, and love fellow humans as they continue to grow and flourish in their own way.

In this episode, Justin Alan Hayes interviews Heidi Larew, LPCC-S, LIDC-CS, ATCS Art Therapy Certified Supervisor from the HELMS Foundation and Alta Care Group. Heidi Larew, LPCC-S, LICDC-CS, ATCS began working with the HELMS Foundation and Alta Care Group in the summer of 2019. With prior experience as an Ursuline college thesis editor and adjunct faculty, and clinical supervisor across disciplines, she has promoted the development of art therapy in Mahoning Valley. Having served on the Buckeye Art Therapy Association board of directors gave her an edge to understanding connections in the art therapy community.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Heidi adapted to virtual program development while also completing a book chapter to further serve clinicians working with individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

Over the past two years, she has welcomed seven art therapy clinicians, either interns or art therapists, to join in the promotion of art therapy in our community. Her emphasis is on creatively connecting professionals so that they can provide evidence -based and cost-effective art therapy services.
