Therapy job openings for working with abused children & families.

The director just sent out an email asking HCC Therapists if they knew any clinicians who would be interested. She also wrote: "we need clinicians for St. Lucie, Okee, & Martin. I have several clients that are requesting female clinicians only."

I hope this helps any therapist out there who is looking for a job. In my opinion, this is a great place to work, and they seem to LOVE having Art Therapy trained Therapists working with clients here... as well as learning more about Art Therapy themselves!

If interested, please go to the Hibiscus website and fill out an application and/or contact the Director at: cdelgiudice@hcc4kids.org

Thank you for your time.

Take Care & God Bless,

Ms. Devlynne R., MA.

HELP FATA spread the word

Did you know that FATA routinely receives requests from individuals seeking art therapists in varying areas of the state?  Or that we often get requests from those interested in studying art therapy, or those seeking internships, practicum placements or supervision?

We love knowing that art therapy is generating this interest, but at times, we struggle to keep up with these emails in addition to our regular board offices. We need to ensure that we respond to inquiries in a timely manner, with relevant referrals to providers, and quality information about art therapy. Therefore, we would like to form a Public Relations Committeeto handle incoming information requests and help map our membership so we can provide regional referrals. In addition, this committee might be called on to help us get the word out to membership about special events or projects by creating documents such as e-mail announcements, letters, or simple flyers. Please contact Raquel Farrell-Kirk, President Elect, if you are interested in participating in this committee.

Raquel can be reached at: president_elect@floridaarttherapy.org
