The Importance of Art Therapy

Art therapy offers a unique approach to mental health treatment, allowing clients to express themselves in a non-verbal and non-threatening manner.

Validated My Understanding of Art Therapy Techniques

I enjoyed the course. I found most of the materials were of value. I also found that I did validate some of the practices I already have in place around teaching arts and crafts to seniors and folks in assisted living in memory care. What I did not like is that the quizzes seem quite a few flaws. Questions contained more than one answer that was valid. I also found many mistakes (A/C vs 1/3).

Very Informative

I enjoyed this course. There were some quiz questions that could have been answered correctly by other choices than what was the "correct" choice, but that was a non-issue. This course neatly puts out there the basic foundation and how-to of a successful Art Therapy Practice. More about insurance needs, I suppose, would have been helpful, but overall, I loved the learning process, thank you!!

This course was very interesting to learn how applying art can help everyone process their emotions whatever they may be and at any age. I have thoroughly enjoyed being tested at each point and that This course wasn't just an easy walk through, it was challenging. I will absolutely be using the techniques I have learned in my school setting. Thank you so very much.
