Art activities are a natural approach for children and teenagers to express themselves and communicate. Reality gains solid form via mark-making and symbolic play, and imagination becomes less perplexing – the kid learns to understand and comprehend their environment. The therapist must respond in a way that accommodates and supports the expressive processing of childhood life events. Art may be used to express ideas, fantasies, beliefs, and experiences in a different way. Art therapy allows you to safely explore a wide range of complex sensations that might arise during childhood and adolescence. Children and adolescents frequently lack the language complexity to communicate or even grasp what they are feeling. What cannot be expressed finds outward expression through creative art processes, which can lead to reflective detachment and cognitive clarity of ideas and feelings that would otherwise be perplexing and ambiguous.
Making art is a freeing experience that encourages children to leave marks in their surroundings, to join in the process of play, and to address developmental concerns as they emerge. As challenging topics emerge during the therapy process, visual expressive approaches can show impasses, barriers, and disruptions in thought and feeling.

Teenagers can use art to reconnect with their basic sense of self, to reinvent their identity as they begin to split from their families, to experience and be impacted by peers and new relationships, sexual awareness, bodily changes, and a developing feeling of autonomy. Art may link to childhood memories in an appropriate form of adult expression.

This program teaches participants how to utilize art with children and teenagers to explore developmental stages, give interactive strategies, and learn how to interpret symbolic messages with different age groups. Art activity gives an alternative means to express powerful emotions and a developmentalally more familiar journey from infancy to maturity for the kid or young person.

The program includes both theoretical and practical learning opportunities to improve the confident implementation of art-based treatments in therapy and counselling evaluation and treatment. There is also potential for developing abilities in constructing art intervention assignments in response to the child or young person’s topic. Participants will leave with a better awareness of the concepts and boundaries around the safe implementation of art therapy techniques in health and community settings. This workshop does not require any artistic abilities.
