Oakton Hosts Art Therapy Workshop
The role of art therapy in treating children and adolescents will be covered in a workshop, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Thursday, March 27, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.
Designed for parents, teachers, and allied health and medical therapists, "Art Therapy: Building Trust and Finding Truth with Children, Adolescents, and Their Families" features keynote speaker Pamela Matiosian, ATR and founder of the Rice Child and Family Center in Evanston. Matiosian is an experienced art therapist in private practice who also serves as a consultant for the Northern Suburban Special Education District.
Workshop topics include the incorporation of the "open-ended narrative" as a therapeutic tool and assessment guide; strategies for building a relationship with the client through art; and the role of "witnessing" one's own artwork along with the client's work.
Registration fee of $125 includes continental breakfast, lunch, and 6.5 CEUs. For more information or to request a detailed program brochure, call Oakton's Alliance for Lifelong Learning at 847-635-1934.
