Description

The Art Therapy Credentialing Board is now requiring that Registered and Board Certified Art Therapists receive 6 hours of continuing education in supervision.  This training provides a dynamic means of fulfilling that requirement for those of you who are supervising/training others, as well as a means of energizing your work for those of you who are not. 

In this workshop, we will briefly explore existing models of supervision from other mental health professions and from the art therapy world.  We will then weave in principles from positive psychology that enhance not only the supervisory experience but our also own clinical practice.  Finally, we will also explore ways that this work can positively impact our personal relationship to our work by preventing burnout and increasing compassion satisfaction. 

 

Objectives:

Participants will be able to:

  • Participants will identify 3 approaches to supervision from general psychology practices. 
  • Participants will identify 3 approaches to supervision from the field of art therapy.
  • Participants will identify 3 elements of positive psychology supervision.
  • Participants will identify 3 principles of positive art therapy supervision.
  • Participants will identify 3 ways they can apply principles from positive art therapy supervision into their clinical practice.
  • Participants will identify 3 ways that they can apply these principles to prevent burnout and enhance compassion satisfaction.
