    The Journal of Creative Arts Therapies (JoCAT) is the peer-reviewed journal of the Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association, funded by ANZACATA and produced in partnership with Western Sydney University. Previously the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art Therapy (ANZJAT), JoCAT has been an online and open-access publication since 2020. In a competitive environment where rejection rates and publication fees can be prohibitive, JoCAT is particularly attractive to new and emerging CAT authors and to an audience who enjoy diverse ways of reading, viewing and listening.

    This webinar will offer you an overview and take you behind the scenes. Sheridan will describe the scope and aims of the journal, its positioning in the research landscape and editorial approach. Vic will outline the JoCAT publication process, from making a submission, to the peer review process, to producing the papers, creative contributions, reviews and podcasts on the website.

    Learning objectives:

    1. Become familiar with the story, current scope and aspirations of the Journal of Creative Arts Therapies (JOCAT).
    2. Learn to navigate the JoCAT webpages and find key information.
    3. Gain confidence in contributing to your journal as an author or peer reviewer.
    4. Understand submission guidelines and formats for JoCAT and other scholarly journals.
    5. Find out what will happen to your submission.
    6. See how the JoCAT team puts ANZACATA's journal funding to work.

    This presentation will appeal to a range of practitioners who want to enhance their knowledge of facilitating connection and enhancing engagement with diverse clients by capitalising on the current research in the field of Motivational Interviewing.

    Developed by William Miller and Stephen Rollnick, Motivational Interviewing is an active, person-centred style of interacting with people. Motivational Interviewing is not a technique, but rather a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication that incorporates the language of change. It helps to strengthen personal motivation towards achieving a specific goal by creating an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion and eliciting and exploring the person's inner reasons for change (Britt, Gregory, Tohiariki, & Huriwai, 2014; Miller & Rollnick, 2013). Past research has shown that this style can increase the natural desire of individuals for change (e.g., Magill et al., 2018; Palacio, 2016). 

    This workshop will provide information of the theoretical basis of Motivational Interviewing; and provide specific practical Motivational Interviewing strategies to facilitate connection and engagement with diverse clients in Clinical Arts Therapy Practice. 

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    This workshop provides introductory training in motivational interviewing, including theory, research and practice, with particular emphasis on its use in clinical Arts Therapy practice.
