This workshop will provide applicable art-based information and creative practices for counselors, social workers, caregivers, and other mental health professionals.

You will be introduced to several techniques complementary to your current skill set that will further your practice with clients and create a thread between sessions.

You will support clients by:

-Inviting art practices into a client’s life during crisis can honor the non-verbal avenues of expression, offer a reinvestment in a rich mode of processing emotions

-Supporting them to develop deeper senses of safety, coping, and inner resourcing that can be used throughout their lives

-Access creative practices with high functioning individuals and those who have severe physical, mental, or emotional challenges
