This capstone subject will provide students with opportunities for independently designing and implementing a creative arts therapies program with support and supervision.
This program will require them to identify and apply relevant creative arts therapy methods and practice frameworks in that context, as well as justify and evaluate the program through a written report. They will integrate theory, methods and research into their practice.
Students will also learn and apply advanced communication and counselling skills in context, with individuals, groups and the professional team. They will also develop teamwork skills in care coordination, including understanding of case management and transdisciplinary team work and application where appropriate.
Students will learn to practice self-care strategies as well as understanding how to work with systems to ensure mutual care in diverse contexts.
Placement
Students are required to complete 20 days of supervised practical placement and will work across a range of tasks relevant to the external partner's objectives in discussion with a qualified professional and the subject coordinator.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- apply contemporary relevant theories to various contexts in professional practice;
- use advanced communication and counselling skills for professional practice;
- explain how a creative arts therapist would contribute to care coordination within diverse organisational frameworks;
- design a creative arts therapies program for a supervised placement;
- consider issues of self and mutual care in diverse contexts.
