One week foundation in art therapy
This course is for people who are interested in art therapy as a career and want to consider training as an art therapist. It is also useful for other professionals who want to gain a better understanding of art within a care context.
The course will help you begin developing your understanding of art therapy with different client groups within varying settings. You will take part in art-based learning exercises built into each teaching session to help you integrate theories learned on the course.
No previous formal experience in art making is required, but it is important to be prepared to take part in art-based learning.
What you will need
You will need to have some basic art materials to hand to use during the week. A short list will be provided before the course starts.
Most materials can be found in and around the home, any specific materials required will be basic to keep costs for you to a minimum.
What to expect
This course is a learning environment and not therapy. The content of the course can be challenging for some people, and you will need to be mindful about what you disclose and bring to group discussions.
Course programme
The course overall was excellent, the tutors were very knowledgeable, inspiring and genuine.
