Mental Health Collaboration Webinar: A Dive into Art Therapy 7 August 2024 : 14:00 (BST) / 15:00 (CEST)
Art Therapy is a behavioral therapy that can be practiced independently or as a complement
to drug therapy. It involves outpatient sessions, which are more patient-friendly and less
stigmatizing than traditional hospital-based approaches. Art therapists collaborate with
psychologists, therapists, educators, and specialists from the cultural and artistic realms to
provide this form of therapy.
The Mental Health Collaboration’s webinar will include a quick introduction to understanding the tenets of Art Therapy, and it’s positive impact on mental health. This will be followed by a look into the effects of Art Therapy among two student populations- one concerned with suicidality and the other with drug and alcohol dependency.
