I have been searching online to see what would be the best outcome in order to start with some education on the professionalism of art therapy. Here is what I came across, this website has more than 200 online and classroom courses for art therapy.
If you are a social worker, coach, teacher, therapist, counsellor, psychologist, or anyone with a desire to learn and understand a new discipline and form of communication, then an Art Therapy education can help. This course is ideal for those that are either complete beginners to the field of Art Therapy and are considering making a career change to become a Art Therapist, with the aim of getting an insight and understanding of Art Therapist, or existing Art Therapists, psychologists, therapists, teachers, coaches or parents looking to reinforce their knowledge or to pick up some new skills. This course is also ideal if you are interested in a career in Art Therapy, though are unsure if you want to commit yourself financially and time-wise to a full Art Therapy qualification. Each course has different training skills provided. This is the course I have entered into my basket it is £49 it is self paced, 150 CPD hours. This course captures an overview of tackling each therapy within the places of: Hospitals Community Mental Health Centers Child Life programmes Shelters Prisons Nursing Homes Special Schools. So each practice will maintain differently for each place provided.
