Art Therapy - "How To Use Art Therapy With Others" has been created for people who are interested in therapeutic art and the creative process, either for self exploration and healing, or for the purpose of working with other people to help support them in a therapeutic setting.
The therapeutic, creative process of self expression through art, can improve our physical and mental health, as well as our emotional well being.
- It helps us to manage our feelings in a more positive way

What does the course cover?
The course curriculum covers a range of topics. We’ll be looking at how to use various art therapy techniques in a range of settings, This includes painting, drawing as well as using music, dance and even drama as a therapeutic tool enabling you to bring healing and harmony to both yourself and to your clients.
We’ll also be looking at how we can utilise the creative process to address specific issues such as authenticity, recovery and mental health, as well as using therapeutic art techniques for the treatment of things such as PTSD, illness and when working with children.
Artistic therapy can be incredibly useful for children who may have experienced bullying or trauma and can provide a safe sanctuary to share their feelings and emotions.
