Recent research illustrates the effectiveness of integrating movement, music, drama, visual art making, storytelling and poetry into all areas of therapeutic work, especially hospice, trauma, addiction recovery, across all ages. The arts are also a powerful tool for caring for yourself as you care for others.
Our training program is now credentialed for training credit by the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) and accepted for CEUs by the National Association of Mental Health Counselors and for college credit by the Empire State College.

Advanced EXA Training
Expand and deepen expressive arts skills and sensitivity in a collaborative, research-oriented and arts-based environment. Opportunity exists for a study/practice group for all who have had at least one year of expressive arts training at Glass Lake Studio or New York Expressive Arts and are using or planning to use arts-based approaches in their personal and professional lives. These opportunities help us expand and deepen our understanding of expressive arts methods, freshen skills and connect with a supportive group of persons working through the arts.
