artREMEDY courses
Module 1: Foundations of Arts and Health
The first course in the artREMEDY series introduces neuroarts: the study of how creative engagement affects the brain and body. Explore how trauma influences health and behavior and build a foundation for applying the arts to foster connection, resilience, and well-being.
Module 2: Trauma-Informed, Strengths-Based Practice
Design trauma-informed, strengths-based arts experiences. Learn practical strategies for creative engagement and responsive facilitation that prevent re-traumatization while fostering growth, self-efficacy, and empowerment.
Module 3: Principles of Radical Hospitality
Create spaces where everyone feels essential, not optional. This session explores accessibility, multiple learning modalities, and cultural awareness while providing practical strategies to cultivate inclusion, build trust, and make your space a place of belonging and care.
Module 4: Responsive Facilitation and De-Escalation
Develop tools to help participants stay calm, centered, and confident in asking for what they need. This training builds the skills to recognize and examine personal assumptions and de-escalate tense situations with empathy, awareness, and respect to create safer, more equitable spaces.
Module 5: Principles into Practice
Put your learning into action. This interactive training bridges theory and practice through examples, arts activities, and role play. Apply the trauma- informed, strengths-based, and inclusive principles from the prior modules to create healing-centered experiences.
Note: Modules 1–4 can be taken in any order with no prerequisites needed. It is recommended to start with Module 1.
To take Module 5, all preceding modules (1–4) are needed as prerequisites. For an exception, please contact artremedy@pathwithart.org to request prior approval.
