Drama as Therapy: Professor Leads Theater Workshops to Benefit Immigrants

In August, Fordham Professor Fadi Skeiker, P.h.D, held a one-week applied theater workshop with Grupo de Mujeres Latinas, a support program run by the Belmont Catholic Community in the Bronx for immigrant Latina women dealing with childhood trauma, limited education, single motherhood, and other struggles.
