This course will explore uses of art-based mental health interventions in work with children, youth & families involved in foster care and/or juvenile justice systems. Participants will learn trauma-informed theoretical and practical strategies for bringing visual art into their work with youth and families through a combination of didactic and participatory learning. The course will also provide an overview of how to use and understand visual art as an assessment tool, coping and resilience skill, and trauma processing mechanism. This class is virtual but please come with any art making materials you have easily available (paper and pens, markers, crayons, pastels, etc).
