ALS is a devastating, incurable disease that gradually takes away the ability to walk, dress, speak, swallow and eat. Most people with ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, will die within two to five years of diagnosis. Art can be a powerful tool in helping people process their emotions and experiences - this can also include teens and young adults who are coping with the stress of having a loved one with ALS. May is ALS Awareness Month, and here to explain are Licensed, Board-Certified Art Therapist Erika Mayer and Tess Cohen, who created a documentary about caring for her father with ALS.
