Presenter Grace Chiu, Creative Expression as a Component of Acute Psychiatric Care
Canadian & British Columbia Art Therapy Associations 2017 Conference
October 13-15, 2017, Vancouver, B.C., The Croatian Cultural Centre
Paper Presentation (50 minutes), Creative Expression as a Component of Acute Psychiatric Care: The Benefits of Single-Session Expressive Arts Therapy Groups
This presentation will detail research exploring the impact of single-session expressive arts therapy groups on patient mood states in the context of an adult psychiatric unit in a large urban hospital. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the research conducted demonstrated that participation in the group was an efficacious means of improving patients' moods. Selected case studies will be used to illustrate the effectiveness of an expressive arts-based approach and describe the nature of a typical single-time group session. The paper was awarded the CATA-ACAT Journal Article Authorship Award (October 2016).

Health is a journey where we tune into ourselves and explore the unique expression we each have within. The journey does not mean you have to go far...but more importantly, shifting the view from where you are now.
Embracing Our Wholeness means to connect to all aspects that bring us joy in our lives (health, mind, body and spirit). It is also about self-love and self-acceptance. Come join us and be a part of this fun, creative and supportive event. This workshop is part of the Health, Food, Creativity Event that takes place November 21 - 22, 2015. A community event focusing on health and wellness through creativity, and unique expression of each individual soul.
Limited seating, reserve your spot! Workshop facilitated by Grace Chiu, an Art Therapist who uses an art-based therapeutic approach to promote personal growth, positive change and well-being.
