“I found the Pediatric Medical Art Therapy Workshop to be presented with clear concepts, weaving case histories with clinical expertise. Linda Chapman’s step-by-step approach opens new dimensions and collaborations in treatment for children facing challenges. I am better equipped to help children reduce their stress and trauma and increase their coping ability.”

The course will offer three days of classroom learning about the tenets of medical art therapy with hospitalized children, teens and families, and will include exposure to child life philosophy and practice, and the beneficial collaboration of these two fields.
Some of the topics to be covered include an introduction to the specialization of medical art therapy, special considerations about art media, reactions to illness, injury and hospitalization, and assessment and treatment for a variety of conditions and issues. A portion of the course is devoted to palliative care and end of life care.
Practical experience in the hospital setting is offered as part of the course, and will be individually designed in accordance with one’s scope of practice, and will be arranged with and facilitated by the Child Life Department at UCSF.
