Art Therapy Today
AATA News
  
We are thrilled to announce our first-ever technology event, Artful Connections: Technology, Art Therapy and Mental Health, to be held Dec. 2!

Together, let’s explore how technology — from virtual sessions and virtual reality, to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and wearable tech — is transforming mental health care and the work art therapists do every day. Our presenters will address how they apply emerging technologies to their work and research as well as the ethical implications. The event will be held live (not pre-recorded) with dynamic, engaging discussion and opportunities to network with art therapists, researchers, and mental health professionals from around the world.
