ANZACATA is offering subsidised online group supervision sessions with Romny Vandoros for recently graduated practising members (less than 2yrs since graduation). These group art therapy supervision sessions offer support for members who are navigating the "transitional space" between graduation and professional experience. The sessions include arts-based directives/interventions and case presentation/discussion within a framework of ethical practice and wellbeing maintenance of the therapist.
There will be 5 monthly sessions (each session is 90 minutes), with a maximum of 8 participants. The total participant cost is $250 (paid upfront). If you prefer evening sessions, another group is available here.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
These sessions will provide a safe and nurturing space to:
- Build a community of recently graduated creative art therapists to develop their confidence and sense of connection.
- Create customised group learning/supervision goals that can include, but are not limited to, case discussions, practice sessions and peer support.
- Create a personalised learning/professional development plan as a new therapist. These plans may include self-care plans or CPD/conference plans.
- Expand your connection and resources and appreciate the culture around creative arts therapists' practice in various regions.
