Art Seminar

A brief introduction to art therapy was an engaging graduate student seminar that explored the power of art therapy to help individuals improve their social, emotional and cognitive well-being. Led by Dr. Stephanie Wise, an art therapist, the collaborative potential between art therapists and occupational therapists in advancing mental health care was explored. Through art-making and the creative process, art therapists advocate for the self-worth and inclusivity of all people while promoting the development of art therapy in the community. Throughout the seminar, all students participated in four art assessments, gaining valuable insight into how to incorporate art into future occupational therapy sessions. I highly recommend this seminar since it's engaging, interactive, and offers a wealth of knowledge!
