ABOUT ART THERAPY
Art therapy is based on the belief that the creative process involved in the making of art is healing and life-enhancing. Through creating art and talking about art and the process of art making with an art therapist, one can increase awareness of self, cope with symptoms, stress, and traumatic experiences, enhance cognitive abilities, and enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of artistic creativity.
Nice to know that the state is hiring people "based on [a] belief" that Art Therapy is helpful rather than proven methods of rehabilitation. Wouldn't this money be better spent on a teacher?
