Tree of Life: Creative Arts Process for Children, Young People and Adults

24 September 2024, 1:00pm - 4:00pm AEST

This half-day live online training introduces you to the theory and techniques to bring the Tree of Life  creative arts therapy tool to your clients. This method is a narrative therapy and strength-based tool suitable to use with clients aged eight years and older, individually or in groups.  You will also be able to create your own Tree of Life in this workshop.

The Tree of Life can be used after trauma when clients are weighed down by their ‘problem story.’ When a client is struggling with symptoms such as negativity and ruminations, or finding it hard to reflect on their strengths, or value-laden hopes for the future, this technique can bring a healing perspective. 

The resulting artwork is enjoyable to draw and a concrete and beautiful symbol of achievements, skills, knowledges, cherished hopes for the future.
