Art Therapy Today
AATA News
In this virtual Continuing Education session, hosted by Magdalena V. Karlick, M.A., Phd-c, ATR-BC, LPCC, we will explore the experience of belonging and some of the factors that limit this internal and interpersonal experience. We will discuss practices of inclusivity as it relates to representation, language use, and nervous system regulation. We will use somatic awareness techniques and art supplies to explore our felt sense of belonging. In addition, we will explore the relationship between cultural humility and the experience of belonging as it pertains to the facilitation of art therapy in a variety of settings.

Registration fees are $52 for AATA members and $82 for non-members. The session is FREE for AATA student members! Attendees may receive 2 CE credits.

Some of you may remember me from the registration desk at last year’s AATA annual conference in San Diego. I wanted to share my experience about the conference, in case you are wondering whether it’s worth it to attend AATA2024 in Pittsburgh – or whether you belong there. Here’s a look at what I learned, who I met, and, of course, the overall vibe.
