Peer Consultation

COATA offers monthly peer consultation groups open to professionals and students in the field of art therapy and related fields. This is an opportunity to make art together and receive feedback and support with challenging clinical issues and cases. Peer consultation brings our community together for connection, growth, and self-care through art.

We are excited to announce that when you attend our Peer Consultation Groups you may now accrue Professional Development Hours (PDH). You will have the opportunity to document our Group Learning Activities and sign a community attendance log that you can submit to DORA for your licensure renewal.  The max amount of PDH you may accrue with this group is 20 hours of your 40 hours required.

Please see our event calendar for more info.

All groups are 1.5 hours
