IATA is working on a virtual art quilt on our Instagram page. We invite art therapists to submit images of their artwork in the spirit of connection. Post your image, a brief description, and something about yourself directly to Instagram @illinoisarttherapyassociation with the following hashtag #IATAartquilt. Those who do not use social media can email their content to socialmediachair.iata@gmail.com, and we'll post it for you!
We'd love to virtually connect with all art therapists across Illinois and beyond! |

GRIEF AT A DISTANCE: Upcoming virtual meet-ups presented by IATA
|
Part 1: Anticipatory Grief and Anxiety
Saturday, June 13th 10:30am - 11:30am Grief arises in so many different spaces. On Saturday we would like to focus on grief that comes before a loss. What have you done to support clients or yourself when there is an expected loss? What has been helpful when someone has anxiety about losing the ones they love or their current way of life? This pandemic is bringing new issues to our personal and professional lives. What are ways you have coped? How have you adapted directives for clients? You are invited to join us and share your ideas. IATA will be collecting all directives in a document to make accessible on our website and social media. If you are interested in sharing, but unable to attend, you can share your ideas here. |
Part 2: Adapting Rituals of Loss
Wednesday, June 17th 7:00pm - 8:00pm Grief arises in so many different spaces. On Saturday we would like to focus on grief while physically isolated. What can clients do to support loved ones at a distance? How can we help to adapt rituals of loss to keep ourselves physically safe? This pandemic is bringing new issues to our personal and professional lives. What are ways you have coped? How have you adapted directives for clients? You are invited to join us and share your ideas. IATA will be collecting all directives in a document to make accessible on our website and social media. If you are interested in sharing, but unable to attend, you can share your ideas here. |
