Read "Topic 6: Vargas Family Case Study." Develop three experiential interventions that you would use with the Vargas family.

It’s time to get creative! You have noticed that the Vargas family struggles with emotional expression, particularly with congruent emotional expression (i.e., words, actions, and body language being congruent). Using the Experiential Interventions Template, create three unique experiential interventions that you would use with the family and describe how they would be helpful to the family. It may be helpful to refer to the library articles for ideas and inspiration, but do not copy existing interventions. Be sure to fully address each section in the template for each of the three interventions in your paper: 

1. Title of your Intervention


2. General Goals


3. Materials Needed


4. Advance Preparation Needed


5. Description of the Intervention with the Vargas family


6. Discussion of the Benefits of the Intervention to the Vargas Family


7. References (if any)
