Course Description:

Through a series of engaging and educational modules, artREMEDY trains and equips arts and culture organizations, healthcare providers, and academic institutions with practical, evidence-based, trauma-informed arts strategies.

Module 1: Foundations of Arts and Health

The first course in this 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: Beyond Awareness: From Bias to Belonging

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.
