Conference Overview
Instilling wellness, belonging, and resilience can feel impossible in today’s divided healthcare climate. At Institute for Therapy through the Art’s annual Integrated Creative Arts Therapy Conference, learn how strengths-based, embodied, and creative approaches can shift the landscape of healthcare.
Our annual conference affords professionals and students an opportunity to connect and learn about clinical work, research, training, and representation within art, dance/movement, drama, and music therapies.
Healthcare professionals strive to promote wellness, belonging, and resilience in a climate ridden with disconnection, divisiveness, and barriers to quality care. While this work can feel like moving mountains, creative arts therapies forge rivers and pathways to healing and community building.
Join ITA’s 10th annual ICAT Conference to discover how strengths-based, embodied, and creative approaches can shift the landscape of healthcare.
In this 10-year anniversary of our annual conference, we aim to uplift the work of creative arts therapies in healthcare, education, and community settings while building solidarity among professionals. At Moving Mountains, we will demonstrate how creative arts therapies can shift the landscape of healthcare through anti-carceral, culturally responsive, and liberatory frameworks.
