Art Therapy - Profession-specific descriptor for registered professionals
Art Therapists use non-verbal psychological therapy to support people to make changes in their lives, which can improve both mental and physical wellbeing. The person accessing arts therapies can: explore choices through artwork, trial a different version of themselves in role-play, find their voice with musical improvisation, and learn to listen to their physical needs through movement. Arts therapists have a range of transferrable skills that can be activated in leadership roles to support the equally complex agenda of public health.
