Expressive Arts Therapy, Trauma-Informed Online Learning Courses
Looking for distance coursework that provides learning about expressive arts therapy and trauma-informed practice? Or do you want to just learn more about arts-based approaches, play therapy, creative intervention, and the expressive arts therapies that are applied in counseling, psychotherapy and integrative healthcare? Our courses are designed for master's and doctoral level mental health professionals and graduate students in mental health and related professions.
Most courses are designed to meet continuing education requirements in the US and are 6 hours or 12 hours in length. This means that a 6 hour course should take learners approximately 6 hours to complete the readings, assignments and final exam or short paper. Our participants say that our courses take a little longer to complete than other online offerings because of hands-on assignments and the extensive material that is included in each course offering. You can complete your online courses at your own pace and schedule; you will have one year from the date of registration to complete your courses; if you need an extension to complete your course, please let us know. We try to make your learning interesting by including not only standard quizzes and short answer questions, but also creative arts and play-based activities and podcasts, films and videos so that you can learn first hand about trauma-informed, creative interventions.
To see our current online courses, please go to the Online Course Catalogue for more information. To learn more about our Certificate Programs in Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts Therapy, go to this link.
