The Centre for the Arts in Human Development, a clinical training site for the Faculty of Fine Arts and based on the Loyola Campus, held its Acknowledgement Day Cere-monies on May 11 to celebrate its participants’ completing three years in its program of creative arts therapies.

This group were lead actors in last June’s original musical production, Romeo and Juliet on Dante Street.

Proudly holding their certificates in the photo are Maureen Kennedy, Danny Campbell, David Allen, Peter Pantazis, Chris Chang, and Marc Paradis, with Debbie Harvison and Carolina Arcangeli looking on.

You may recognize Danny, David, Chris, Marc and Carolina who also work on Concordia’s Sir George Williams Campus, through the Socio-Pro Services of the West Montreal Readaptation Centre.

This year, the Centre ran its program four days a week for 50 participants.

The Birks Family Foundation supports the Centre’s Public Outreach Program, which includes its open houses and musical productions.

The research component focuses on self-esteem and quality of life issues for its participants.
