Recent unveiling at Seton Hill's downtown Center for Family Therapy
A 20 x 8 foot mural was recently unveiled at Seton Hill’s center for family therapy. The mural depicts a tranquil scene with a small circle of people meeting in a rural setting. The mural portrays a soothing/calming feeling with its cool blues, purples, and greens.
A SHU alumna, Lora Losier-Clayton and current Seton Hill students created this mural. “…The painting of the mural seemed to create a community of learning, laughing and sharing. Our hope is that as people pass through the halls of the Center, the mural will bring comfort, and continue to be a point of sharing that brings people from all walks of life together,” stated Clayton.
The Seton Hill University Center for Family Therapy, located in downtown Greensburg, promotes the use of family therapy as an alternative by including the family to address issues leading to problematic drug and alcohol use.
Seton Hill makes services available through the Center to youth and their families in the surrounding areas by confronting a wide variety of life issues. The Center provides a sliding scale fee structure that makes its services affordable to all clients. Outcomes-based research conducted through the Center makes an important contribution to understanding best practices in the prevention and treatment of troubled behaviors among children, adolescents, and their families.
Seton Hill offers a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. The program meets the academic standards required to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Pennsylvania.
