Member Corner
"As a Hispanic, I am very proud of how connecting with our community matters, so there was always the stinging thorn of not having given back to my community in my hometown as I had originally planned! But when the Pandemic allowed me to provide services virtually, I was able to start serving both here and back home. I knew my purpose was finally met and now feel complete professionally and personally. I can now serve in two countries and help more people than I originally thought I would." ⇒ Join AATA President Elect Nadia Parades as she presents a virtual session Art Therapy: ¿Cómo se dice? with Michael Galarraga, MS, LPC, ATR-BC, CSAC, CSOTP, on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 7:00 p.m. ET.

Art Therapy in the NewsIn a space of uncertainty, painting sunsets allows me to have a feeling of normality and calmness. These moments let me leave my body just for a minute and focus on the wet paint, bright pink hues and take me back to sitting in the sand, watching the horizon and ocean melt into one another.
Since 2018, more than a dozen states have passed or proposed bills that would allow school districts to treat days missed for mental health issues the same way they treat absences for physical health issues.
For those engaging in art therapy, just having an activity to engage their hands and a bit of mental distraction while talking out problems can help in making those problems seem more malleable and the feelings around them less intense.
