SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii (April 24, 2017) --- The Second Lady of the United States, Karen Pence, views a painting created by a spouse of a 25th ID Soldier, Cindy Manga. The painting depicts a shadowed figure, a Soldier with a cane walking down a dark hallway. As the hallway goes on, it gets lighter. At the end of the tunnel is the source of the light: the Soldier's wife and two children awaiting him and supporting him through his journey. On the left side wall in the scene are rooms with each department that helped the family through. On the right, a sign that reads: SFAC, which stands for Soldier and Family Assistance Center. Pence also visited with military and civilian leaders during a tour hosted by Health Clinic at Schofield Barracks, to talk about how art therapy is being used to help military members and their families deal with difficulties, disabilities or diagnoses. The tour took place outside of the clinic’s walls to where art therapists and patients have unfettered access to their tools: Pens, paper, brushes, ceramics and more. Pence, who is a champion for art therapy programs, visited the arts and crafts building on Schofield, where she spoke with patients currently enrolled in art therapy programs.
