Audience: Clinicians, Social Workers, Interns, Associate, Clinical Staff
Art making is not just for clients! Creative expression is a great self-care strategy for managing and preventing burn out, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue. Art making can also be a great tool for exploring our professional identity as clinicians, processing counter-transference, gaining a deeper understanding of our relationships with clients, and deciphering where our own feelings and experiences may be influencing our perspective on our clinical work. In this training, you will get hands-on experience with art making activities for self-care and for processing our clinical and work relationships and identity. All art materials will be provided by the facilitator.
