Do you think a painter with no mental health training could still learn how to help others through art therapy?

September 15th, 2010 | Category: art therapy programs


Art therapy has been enormously beneficial to me while battling a health problem, and I really wish there was a way I could learn how to do it to help others, not as a career but just as volunteer work I’d do on the weekends. I feel like after doing it for so long I am familiar with the basics of it, but I am just a recent high school grad with only one psychology class under my belt, and I think it may be more complicated than it appears. My resolution for 2010 is to start volunteering with low-income cancer patients who otherwise couldn’t afford any sort of therapy, but yeah….. I don’t know what sort of training I’d need or how to begin. Before I got sick I was an active volunteer with a team who painted murals at inner-city schools, so I do already have a reputation in the city for this, and I have taught art to kids before, but I’ve never done any sort of art therapy with them.

Has anyone else had art therapy? Here’s the center I go to if you’re curious about it and aren’t aware of what art therapy is all about. If you just have any knowledge about pediatric mental health care and if a hospital would even let me do this that would be awesome. Thanks. : )

Thank you AUM. I live in LA, but am up in the Bay Area often, and am moving there next year so that info is helpful.

Why did bush give terrorists "art therapy rehabilitation therapy"?

September 04th, 2010 | Category: art therapy programs


And leaving aside the fact that they prepared (and carried out) for war with a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, let’s remember exactly who was offering therapy and understanding for our attackers:

One of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit was released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November 2007 …

American officials agreed to send the terrorist from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia, where he entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and was set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials. ABC News described his enrollment in the art therapy program in a January report.
Aww, how gentle and nice and comfy Bush is to the guys who slaughtered 3000 of our brightest and best.
