Building Community and the Group Process
______
Saturday, August 11, 2018
11 am - 5 pm
Earn 6 CEUs & connect with other Iowa Art Therapists
$60 members; $75 non-members
at the home of IATA President Lucy Douglas, St. Charles, IA
Members and Friends welcome!!
This event is scheduled for 11AM-5PM in rural Saint Charles, Iowa.
The retreat is for all interested mental health professionals, not just art therapists!
During this retreat you will find opportunities to:
1) Identify strengths and passions,
2) Work and process independently and in a group setting,
3) Experience group process
4) Discover collective goals and values,
5) Explore how to utilize transitional objects to increase client goal retention..
6) Find creative avenues to build a brighter future for more Iowans.
The cost for the retreat and 6 CEUs, applicable for professional art therapists, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, and LMFTs is $60 for members and $75 for non-members.
25% of the profits will be used for legislative efforts toward art therapy licensure in Iowa.
Consider joining as a FRIEND of the Iowa Art Therapy Association, for a reduction in retreat cost. The cost to became a Friend of IATA is only $15!
In order to keep the cost low, we will be having a potluck. Bring your favorite summer dish to share. Water, coffee, tea’s and place settings, will be provided. Also, bring relief items…that is, items for color and texture to hot glue, staple, etc onto foam core.
Our retreat is out in the country and there is a pond for floating and contemplation! Look for MORE Information as we get closer to August, about the retreat and some other items available for our members’ use for public relations. Also, we will be reviewing items that need to be done for our legislative push this year, trying to get Art Therapy licensed in the State of Iowa. Toward that end, please bring information to share on key contacts you may have, to further these efforts, novel ideas and resources. If you have items for the membership, you may forward them and we will make them digitally available for our members to use in the presentations given across the State of Iowa! Madi already has a wealth of information catalogued and ready for use!!
In the mean time, I would like to send out folder stickers of our logo, to be used at the presentations that Professional Art Therapists do across the State, to get our logo ‘out there’ and recognized by as many Iowan's as possible. I also have IATA membership cards to send with the stickers. Please contact me, if you would like these resources before August. Look for next month's update to include licensure ‘to do’ list and connections to presentation resources to use, including a call for medical model verbiage, so that Art Therapy is not seen as just another arts and crafts group.
In addition to the quarterly business meeting and experiential, Madi has graciously volunteered to give us a quick 'how to' on the use of AATA's Glasscubes, so that those resources will be accessible, also!
