SUMMARY:9th Annual ICAT Conference: Nourishing Networks (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Nourishing Networks: Grow Through What We Go Through \n \n\nMarch 21-22\, 2025 (In-Person) | March 30-31\, 2025 (Virtual) | View Full Conference Program HERE.\n\n \n\nHealthcare professionals often feel challenged to draw from our strengths as resilient\, creative\, and resourceful clinicians amid systems that seem to work against us. At ITA’s 9th annual Integrated Creative Arts Therapy Conference\, learn how to nourish networks rooted in care and liberation. \n\n \n\nHealth care professionals demonstrate resiliency\, creativity\, and resourcefulness as we adapt to economic\, political\, and social changes across the world. At the same time\, our existing systems often fall short of supporting our work\, leading to burnout and disconnection. The creative arts therapies can mitigate these challenges through an emphasis on the sustainability of our clinical practice\, self-care and community care\, and collective liberation.\n\n \n\nCoinciding with ITA’s 50th anniversary\, we aim to celebrate and tend to our roots as creative arts therapists while looking to the future of our fields. At Nourishing Networks\, we will demonstrate how the creative arts therapies can cultivate systems of care in healthcare\, education\, and community settings through an emphasis on anti-carceral\, culturally responsive\, and liberatory approaches.\n\n \n\nOur 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.\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMeet Our Keynote Speaker\n Adam D-F. Stevens (they|them)\, MA\, RDT/BCT\, is a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT)and Board-Certified Trainer who works with queer\, POC\, and neurodivergent youth in transforming their loss\, grief\, and trauma into unapologetic\, abundant joy and empowerment.

They are the Artistic Director for NYU’s Collideoscope Repertory Theatre Company\, CRTC. CRTC’s mission is to advance racial justice and healing through performance.

Adam’s superpowers are rooted in the fantastical forces of creativity and love.\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \nSponsorship Opportunities \n \n\nWe have several options for different sponsorship levels.
