(Oxford) Diploma in Art Therapy for Families

Art Therapy and Coping strategies for children (explained by adults)

Remember: This course now includes the October 2023 manual.

This is a course in three parts:

a. Coping strategies for use with children – or by children on their own. Ideally you’ll sit round with ‘the family’ and watch, reflect, discuss and implement.

b. Art Therapy exercises to use with the family – why not all try them? Post your results (remember, it is the process that counts) in the Q/A. The more you participate the more you will gain from the course.

c. Your family; Art therapy and Joy, Spring and Reflection. Do the exercises together; discuss and then implement everyone’s ideas! Bring everyone together!

This is a very practical course. ideally the whole family will sit round the monitor and watch the lectures, then try out the many many exercises…for the benefit of all.

A very heavy emphasis is put on participation, the sharing of ideas. Other Art Therapy courses of mine have hundreds of discussions as that really, is how to learn and progress. Hopefully this course too, will have such discussions – they will certainly be encouraged.

The course is 21 hours. Maybe that seems a lot, so organise your study time carefully – perhaps week-ends after dinner? Share the involvement.
