Calling Art Therapy advocates, activists, and allies: You're invited to join us tomorrow, 6-7 pm!

In this Art Therapy advocacy meeting, you'll have the opportunity to take advantage of group accountability to tackle those tasks and to-dos you've been putting off. Bring along a project—whether it's your notes, updating a treatment plan, letter, craft, or journal page—and work on it alongside fellow Art Therapists who understand and support you. You'll have the chance to receive live feedback or simply get things done.

For more information, please visit our website: www.arttherapycolorado.org

We hope to see you there!

A Board Certified Registered Art Therapistā„  (ATR-BCĀ®) is an advanced level of the Registered Art Therapist (ATRā„ ), achieved by passing the Art Therapy Credential Board Examination (ATCBE). To maintain this distinction, therapists must complete annual ATRā„  renewals and undergo board recertification (including 100 hours of Continuing Education (CE) credits) every five years.

COATA's monthly Peer Consultation group is an accepted CE activity and qualifies as group learning. This invaluable resource not only supports your Art Therapy practice but also offers peer support and professional development.

Our next Peer Consultation group meets this Wednesday, August 5, from 6-7:30 pm. For more info and to register, visit: www.arttherapycolorado.org
