38th ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM

"Rediscovering Art Therapy Traditions for Current Times"

  

Keynote Speaker: Jordan Potash, Ph.D., ATR-BC

Expanding art therapy across healthcare and social sectors necessitates adapting the traditional foci of the profession for contemporary practice. Rediscovering art therapy history, particularly overlooked early art therapists of color, reveals diverse theoretical and practical applications. These models can be adjusted through the behavioral health framework to offer art therapy across the healthcare continuum. Further increasing client access to art therapy and reducing health inequities requires a social justice perspective.

Dear Creative Friends and Colleagues,

Welcome to our 38th Annual Buckeye Art Therapy Symposium, at the Embassy Suites Columbus, September 19-21, 2019.  We are honored to have Jordan Potash as our Pre-Conference Course and  Keynote presenter. 

The BATA Symposium provides connections with our creative colleagues who share our interests, attitudes, and aspirations. It is a time of renewal, connections, and networking. We explore the latest advances in the identification of pivotal skills that our variety of presenters offer to share. It is our chance to deepen our grasp of the complex craft and profession of art therapy and learn how we can continue to enhance our sense of expertise and fulfillment.

Thank you for joining us at the 38th Annual BATA Symposium to enrich our profession, each other, and ourselves.

Sincerely,

Ashley Rogols, MA, ATR-BC, LPCC-s
