Clinic Events

Workshops

The GW Art Therapy Clinic develops and delivers workshops at no cost to support community welfare and personal self-care. These opportunities cover a wide range of topics, which have included building connections, self-awareness, and developing healthy strategies for self-care. Workshops are typically 90 minutes in duration to allow the space to engage with others, create, and reflect. We are always open to community feedback, and would love to hear from you if you are interested on a workshop that would support the needs you or your DMV community group have identified by emailing: atclinicgwu [dot] edu

Groups

Groups provide a small private forum to:

discuss areas of mental health impacting participants and
practice skills for coping with personal needs.

The goal of each group is shared with the DC metro community, and participants are invited to attend the set of sessions that have been planned with the same group members to support growth through shared experiences.

Upcoming Workshops:

Flyer for community art therapy workshop at the GW Textile Museum

Join community members for an opportunity to engage in hands-on creations for self-regulation and exploration. The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum is an inspiring and welcoming space to reflect on your self-care needs, share experiences, and develop coping strategies with GW's Art Therapy Clinic. Materials will be provided and no art experience is required—art therapy is all about process and not product.
