Benefits from attending

  • Learn key art therapy skills: sand play, art, poetry, clay, art imaged-emotion cards, use of puppets. Everyday words fail to do justice to what a child wants to say, whereas a picture or image really does speak 1000 words.
  •  Learn how to enable children/young people to use arts and imagery to name their feelings and communicate far more effectively in order to process important life events.
  •  Includes second award: Certificate in Child and Adolescent Mental Health (part one)
  •  Progression route for those participants who want to go on to become a nationally recognised and registered art therapist or child psychotherapist.
