TRAININGS

Are you interested in learning more about using the arts within a trauma informed practice? At The Art Therapy Way, we offer therapeutic art trauma trainings to organizations that want to implement their own art-based healing program within their organization. These trainings are facilitated by the founder and art therapist Kendyl Arden. In the program you can expect to learn about how the arts can be used in trauma informed care, but you will also experience hands on demonstrations on using the arts therapeutically, as well as consultation on how to implement a therapeutic art program within your organization.
