(Oxford) Diploma : Art Therapy, Grief, Healing & Recovery
How to use Art Therapy to help yourself, to help others to cope with Grief and as a result, to heal.
Description
New: A workbook has been added to this course that covers the whole of October 2023 and beyond.
This course Art Therapy, Grief and Healing is to enable you to learn how Art Therapy can be used to help yourself - and to help others - cope with grief and thus aid the healing process.
The course is divided into four main sections:
1. Overall Introduction
2. Knowing what to expect
3. Helping others grieve
4. Talking about death, grief but DOING Art
This is very much a 'doing' course. The lectures have many art therapy exercises in them - you are encouraged to do them in order to help yourself. You are also encouraged to share them in the Q/A so others may see the product - but not the process. By sharing, by discussion, there will be a further lessening of grief. You will also be able to see the work of others.
In the 'cartoon' section BOTH Instructors create work in response to the art therapy exercise. Again, it is all about process, process, process.
So who exactly is this course for?
1. Perhaps you are thinking of (or already are) a bereavement counsellor. Using the lectures here - applying the techniques - will only enhance your skills, what others can gain from your time.
2. Perhaps you are going through grief yourself? You need time to heal - but also a structure. There are many hours of lectures here. Plus Educational Announcements. Plus an active Q/A. Use this course to learn, to discuss, to share or just to listen.
3. Maybe you are supporting a loved one and you need activities' for you both to do. There are plenty here!
This course is current as at May 2023. It includes:
1. Artwork nowhere else - not even on the internet
2. Current events
3. Regular Educational Announcements
4. A supportive Q/A
