The awards
We have two awards that are open to nominations from our members:
1: Innovation
Innovation is the creative and strategic integration of new ideas, methods, and approaches to enhance the effectiveness and scope of therapeutic practice.
This award celebrates an individual or team of art therapists who have developed innovative clinical practice, research, or delivered art therapy in a way that has had a profound impact.
2: Inclusive and anti-oppressive practice
Inclusion and anti-oppressive practice is an intentional approach that values diversity, promotes equity, and actively works towards dismantling systemic barriers to well-being.
This award will recognise an individual or team of art therapists who have made significant contributions to improving the inclusive nature of service delivery, the development anti-oppressive practices, or provided art therapy to communities that may not have traditionally accessed art therapy.
