April 22nd is Earth Day.

We’ve started a list of earth-friendly art therapy studio practises for practitioners. What would you add to this list?

• What simple swaps have you made in your personal or therapeutic art studio?

• How do you reduce, reuse and recycle in the art therapy studio?

🎨 You don’t need a Fine Art degree to become an art therapist!

In Canada, many paths can lead you here—psychology, social work, counselling, fine arts, and other related fields. What matters most is a strong foundation in both creative practice and human understanding.

✨ There’s more than one path into this work.

It’s Creative Arts Therapies Week • March 15 - 21,

It’s Creative Arts Therapies Week • March 15 - 21, 2026 • Consider the power of creativity to support your wellbeing.

The field of creative arts therapies includes folks from
• art therapy
• play therapy
• dance & movement therapy
• eco therapy
• Indigenous healing arts
• music therapy
• poetry therapy
• drama therapy
• Expressive arts (any combination of these)

Healing experiences are not one-size-fits all. Creative arts therapists can help people to express, often adding a richness and depth that language sometimes struggles to convey.

HAPPY CATS WEEK 2026
