What is art therapy?
Art therapy is a distinct mental health and behavioral science profession that combines knowledge and understanding of human development and psychological and counseling theories and techniques with training in visual arts and the creative process to provide a unique approach for helping clients improve psychological health, cognitive abilities, and sensory-motor functions. (American Art Therapy Association) |
Why should Nebraska regulate the professional practice of art therapy?
1) Provide a safeguard for Nebraska residents who seek art therapy services. 2) Ensure clients receive quality and professional service from highly trained art therapists. 3) Offer accessible and affordable services to diverse populations with a range of needs. 4) Contribute to the economic growth of Nebraska by creating jobs and expanding both public and private business practices. 5) Create a state-wide social impact through strategic implementation of community-based healing interventions. |
