Training Certification
Art4Healing® Certificate Program
Chapman University College Extended Education in partnership with Art & Creativity for Healing Inc. is proud to offer the Art4Healing® Certificate Program, the first in the nation.
This program is designed for counselors, teachers, therapists, medical professionals, artists, and others interested in learning the Art4Healing® method and using the exercises in their own work with children and adults suffering from abuse, illness, grief or stress. Participants learn how to use the language of color as a way to facilitate creative and emotional expression through abstract painting and other visual mediums, such as collage.
Throughout the certification process, students will be asked to participate and facilitate segments of a workshop. This certificate allows for the individual use of the Art4Healing® methods within private practice as a supplement to existing therapeutic, educational, or artistic programs.
Art & Creativity for Healing Inc. is a non-profit agency dedicated to providing workshops that help children, teens, and adults suffering from abuse, illness, grief or stress, process their feelings using the venue of painting on canvas.
The Art4Healing® workshops have already helped thousands of individuals, including at-risk and underprivileged youth recovering from child abuse and gang-related trauma. This method also helps families with chronic and life-threatening illnesses cope with the emotional, spiritual, and physical impact upon their lives. By expressing themselves creatively, participants can document their experience in a profound way, thus creating a healing environment for themselves.
