The rising incidence of mental health issues amongst children and young people has become an acute source of concern. Growing evidence highlights a need for accessible and effective interventions that can engage this client group. Additionally, clinicians have to work within an increasingly complex legal framework and ensure that their practice complies with statutory requirements. Children and young people sometimes struggle to put their feelings into words and professionals often report that art and other creative therapies can have significant impact on impulse control, wellbeing and emotional literacy.
To respond to the changing landscape of arts therapies with children and young people, the British Association of Art Therapists offers an accredited course, specifically tailored to enable arts therapists to meet these challenges.
