About this book
This book explores social entrepreneurship in art therapy through case studies presented by contributing authors, highlighting the work of art therapists who have used innovative and collaborative approaches to increase access to art therapy services and promote system-level changes within the communities and institutions where they practice.
As creative changemakers, art therapists are often developing innovative solutions to address social problems impacting the communities they serve. This book reveals practical aspects of these initiatives by offering strategies, skills, and practice-based examples. By addressing issues related to equity, inclusion, and access through innovative programming, grassroots advocacy, and policy development, the authors demonstrate how their entrepreneurial initiatives in art therapy produce social impact.
Practitioners in art therapy and allied mental health professions will be inspired to seek and embrace opportunities for innovation.
