Do you work with challenging children and families who seem absolutely resistant to every strategy you try? You want to guide them to a breakthrough but they shut down, meltdown, or act out… there is a disconnect between your client and your therapeutic approach.

When words are not enough, art can be the bridge to mental, physical and emotional well-being.

By incorporating art into therapy, you can blend cognitive behavioral skills, art-making, and creative problem solving to help clients create individualized social, emotional, and behavioral interventions that stick in their brain.

Now, this revolutionary course gives you step-by-step instructions to implement fresh new art strategies and approaches into your practice to help children regulate their emotions and behaviors formed by their struggles with trauma, ADHD, ASD, ODD, anxiety, or mood disorders. You will understand when and what art supplies to use, how to recognize when your client needs more support, how to reel back when you have pushed them too far, and language you can use to talk about what your client’s art creations are reflecting.

Re-energize your work with this dynamic, intervention-packed training and gain 77 approaches you can use immediately in your practice for continued growth!
