AATA News While AATA’s mission is to advance art therapy as a regulated mental health profession and build a community that supports art therapists throughout their careers, we are only one of three organizations that assist art therapists with their career journeys: ACATE, ATCB, and AATA. We hope that this post will help highlight what we offer at AATA and clarify the roles of the ATCB and ACATE.

Member Corner
Franchesca Lastra Vicente I believe that it’s important to find representation within my community, especially being a Latina art therapist. When I first started in the field, I found it difficult to find Spanish-speaking therapists, let alone Spanish speaking art therapists. After graduating and starting my first job, I worked in an outpatient therapy office where I was one of three Hispanic therapists, but was the only art therapist. Personally for me, the connections I made with those clients in contrast to other cultures has been very meaningful. My patients were happy to see someone they could relate with, and someone who could understand the conflicts in the home that, on a cultural level, a non-Hispanic therapist may have not understood. I would see many of my clients say things like “you get it; you know how it is” in reference to how Hispanic mothers would raise their children.
Member News So we can better share free tools, books, and resources, we’ve created a new community on the MyAATA Forum simply called "Free Resources for Art Therapists.” Please join us there by logging into the MyAATA Forum and searching for the community and then clicking the “Join Community” button. We invite our members to share resources they find helpful with their colleagues in the forum as well.
