Creative Arts Therapies Practice 3 (CREA90013)

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, and to consider suitable approaches to evaluating outcomes of their work. 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 a supervised practical placement (160 accreditation hours) 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.
