COURSE DESCRIPTION
New mothers are an underserved clinical population despite experiencing an overwhelming amount of biopsychosocial challenges. This is a look at how an art therapist, a first-time mother herself, supports a young mother with a trauma history using creative interventions to work toward a more integrated and compassionate sense of self.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Participants will be able to identify 2 types of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
2. Participants will be able to list 3 clinical challenges new mothers face.
3. Participants will be able to name 2 benefits of using creative clinical interventions with this population.
A reminder about self-study and continuing education:
For LCATs in New York State, a self-study course can only equal 1/3 of the required contact hours for your license renewal. So, if your license renews in three years, you will require 36 continuing education contact hours, thus a maximum of 12 of those hours can be self-study. The rest of your contact hours must be live events. This includes online webinars, which CreativeArtsTherapiesOnline.com will be offering on a monthly basis, starting in February of 2017. All enrolled students will be updated on new live and self-study course launches. So keep an eye out for our newsletter!
