SUMMARY:
This seminar is for ALL PUBLIC, art therapists and related creative professionals who are engaged in work with communities who have experienced traumas of various types, based on natural disasters, illness and loss, economic hardships, political upheaval, migration movements and racial oppression. An overview of the psychology of trauma and recent findings about the neurological basis of it will be offered—most recently resulting from the pandemic--but with a particular focus on the unique role the creativity and the arts play in the healing and building of resilience for people of all ages.
Increasingly, public and private educational institutions and social agencies around the globe have seen the need to provide support to professionals who serve diverse communities, themselves suffering secondary trauma. The role of creativity in the healing of professionals will be explored, using the two lenses of trauma-sensitive and “healing-centered engagement.” These have become recent directions in the United States in mental health fields and make it clear how the community resources and strengths are central to the building of resilience.
PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT TO LEARN AND DEVELOP THE FOLLOWING:
1) To learn about recent research findings about trauma—including from the pandemic—and the implications for those engaged in creative professions.
2) To gain more detailed strategies within a trauma-sensitive and/or healing-centered framework for work as art therapists and artists within diverse communities and those who serve them.
3) To understand the psychological role of the arts in recent times of economic, political, and medical uncertainty.
To share insights and expertise with other professionals
