Live Webinar Series Specifically Grounded in Expressive Arts Therapy and Art Therapy Supervision and Ethics with a Trauma-Informed Focus

We designed this course to highlight these specific principles and practices found in expressive arts and art therapy. Topics in the weekly curriculum focus on key and essential supervision and ethical issues in these professional domains. This course is not only geared toward expressive arts therapists and art therapists, but also mental health practitioners who are applying arts-based methods in their work. To help participants learn and apply this material, each session includes didactic, informational presentations and at least one experiential--hands-on time with methods and strategies. Interact with your colleagues through large group and break-out room discussion and networking. We provide extensive readings and resources on the course site, along with replays of the sessions-- and you have access for 45 days after the last session of this webinar series to watch or catch up with the course content.
