26 Oct 2019 | Day Workshop | Working with Trauma in Art Therapy

An exploratory day to develop understanding of how traumatic events affect ourselves and our wider communities. Presentations will combine discussions on current research, theoretical developments and case studies to give critical consideration of what art psychotherapy can offer.

The day will be a shared learning experience, where space will be given to explore participant’s thoughts and experiences in order to develop our collective understanding of the diverse nature of trauma.
