What I would ask is that you watch the Preview videos which includes the Introduction where I go through all the segments of the course.

Here are SOME of the topics:

Sections/Topics

• Colour Psychology and Colour Therapy to improve children's mental health (include Case Studies that are editable)

• Art Therapy - daily exercises

• Art Therapy - the academic background

• Art Therapy - in the interpretation of artwork

• Art Therapy and your own journey to self-healing

• Art Therapy and Distress Tolerance

• Art Therapy for the Homeless

• Art Therapy and Nature

• Art Therapy and Meditation

• Art Therapy and Optimism

• Walking Art Therapy

There are many more topics plus 15 manuals and over 700 Art Therapy Exercises.

But more important is the theme of the course and it is one of going on a journey, a journey of self healing and self exploration. On the way you'll learn a lot about how you can help others - but you will learn even more about yourself.

You will also - of course - learn a lot about Art Therapy. This learning will be by DOING. Involving yourself in discussions. Sharing artwork. Sharing analysis. Reflecting. Applying.

Just as an example, in the section on CHILDREN there are lectures and Case Studies on:

• Abuse and Neglect Traumas

• Anxiety

• Attachment Issues

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Autism Spectrum Disorders

• Behavioural Disorders

• Chronic Illness

• Communication Disorders

• Depression

• Eating Disorders

• Emotional Dysregulation

• Family and Relationship Conflicts

• Grief and Loss

• Identity and Self-esteem

• Learning Disabilities

• Phobias

• Physical Disabilities

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

• Social Withdrawal

• Substance Abuse and Addictions

The Q/A section

This is integral to this course. Over SIX THOUSAND posts and discussions. Thousands of pieces of artwork, responses to case studies, manuals and Educational Announcements.

The Q/A section is where students come and post homework, ask and answer questions, comment on artwork and interpretations, explore ideas, reference further studies, relevant film clips and websites and books. It is where the 'global classroom' comes together.

You can often assess how active a course is, how involved the students are, by the activity levels in the Q/A. Look at any course you are now on. Is the Instructor very involved? Are students involved enough to share their work, to respond to the tasks given, to have a go at workbooks, to deal with daily/weekly/monthly exercises, to discuss Case Studies?

Doing so takes time - time from students and also the Instructor.

There are 6,000 posts in the Q/A for this course.

Six thousand.

That is how involved students are on this course. Students want to share, want to comment on artwork, want feedback and want guidance on their journey of self-healing.

So really it all comes down to one question:

Do you want a long, detailed course where there is a high level of Instructor interaction, lectures are added to (there are 750+ already) there are numerous manuals and the Q/A is very very active?

If 'yes' - then enrol on that (long) journey of self-healing, to share ideas and progress, to encourage and be encouraged, to learn numerous techniques, to be kept up to date via Educational Announcements and to go slowly as you evolve - then this really IS the course for you.

If however, you just want a short course that you just sit back and watch without any involvement, any work, any interaction with Instructor or thousands of other students - then this course most definitely is NOT for you.

And you are not for this course.

I do hope you decide this course IS for you and you enrol. Please remember to watch the Preview videos.

Thank you .
