表達藝術治療應用入門證書工作坊 - 2.5小時

Introductory Certificate Workshop on the Application of Expressive Arts Therapy - 2.5 hours

Expressive arts therapy intervenes through the use of various art forms, including visual arts, music, dance, drama, and writing. Beyond clinical psychotherapy, expressive arts therapy is also widely used in education and the community. By combining different art forms, we can directly connect with our body and inner self, enhancing our sensitivity to self-awareness. At the same time, expressive arts offer more possibilities, allowing us to explore our inner selves and the unknown beyond language, and to present and express ourselves in different ways.

This introductory course will provide an experiential learning experience to introduce participants to the theories and applications of expressive arts therapy. Through hands-on activities involving visual arts, music, dance, drama, and writing, we will explore how the characteristics of various art forms can resonate with common themes such as emotions and stress. The course adopts the principle of "low-tech, high-sensitivity" expressive arts therapy, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the world of expressive arts without pressure. Social workers, teachers, university students, and members of the public interested in expressive arts therapy are welcome to participate.
